Java 1.4.2 before 1.4.2 Release 2 on Apple Mac OS X does not prevent multiple programs from opening the same port as a Java ServerSocket, which allows local users to operate a Java program that intercepts network data intended for the ServerSocket of a different Java program.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Apple Mac OS X Java flaw could let a local user run another Java program that receives network data meant for a legitimate Java ServerSocket. Business urgency is mainly for legacy systems: it is not a remote internet-scale issue, but it can expose sensitive local application traffic on affected Macs. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Apple Mac OS X systems running Apple Java 1.4.2 earlier than Release 2, especially shared machines or environments allowing untrusted local users or local code execution. Prioritize remediation if any business-critical legacy Macs still run affected Apple Java versions or allow multiple local users. For modern environments without Java 1.4.2 on Mac OS X, urgency is low after confirming absence. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Apple Java 1.4.2 installations to Release 2 or later per Apple guidance.; Remove unsupported Mac OS X and Java 1.4.2 systems where practical.; Restrict local user access on systems running Java ServerSocket applications..
