Sun Java JRE 1.1.x through 1.4.x writes temporary files with long filenames that become predictable on a file system that uses 8.3 style short names, which allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files to known locations and facilitates the exploitation of vulnerabilities in applications that rely on unpredictable file names.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects very old Sun Java JRE releases that can create temporary files with predictable names on file systems using 8.3 short-name behavior. That predictability can let an attacker place files in known locations and weaken applications that depend on random temporary filenames. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems still running Sun Java JRE 1.1.x through 1.4.x on file systems that generate 8.3 style short names. Modern environments are unlikely to be exposed unless they retain these runtimes for old applications. Treat this as a legacy technology risk, not an emergency based on the supplied evidence. Prioritize discovery and retirement where old Java remains in business-critical or remotely reachable workflows. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Sun Java JRE 1.1.x through 1.4.x.; Check CERT, Secunia, and vendor guidance for supported remediation.; Remove affected legacy JREs where business applications no longer require them..
