CVE-2011-2514: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2011-2514: The Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) implementation in IcedTea6 1.9.x before 1.9.9 and before 1.8.9,...

The Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) implementation in IcedTea6 1.9.x before 1.9.9 and before 1.8.9, and IcedTea-Web 1.1.x before 1.1.1 and before 1.0.4, allows remote attackers to trick victims into granting access to local files by modifying the content of the Java Web Start Security Warning dialog box to represent a different filename than the file for which access will be granted.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw let a malicious JNLP application mislabel a Java Web Start security warning so a user might approve access to a different local file than they believed. Business impact depends on whether legacy IcedTea Java Web Start remains installed on endpoints and whether users can launch untrusted JNLP content. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux desktops or servers with GUI/JNLP use, especially old IcedTea6 or IcedTea-Web packages. Modern systems without Java Web Start/JNLP handling are unlikely to be exposed based on the provided sources. Treat as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue unless vulnerable JNLP workflows are still in use. Prioritize removal or patching on systems handling sensitive local files, because the flaw can turn user trust in security prompts into data exposure. Mitigation focus: Upgrade IcedTea-Web to 1.0.4, 1.1.1, or vendor-fixed packages.; Upgrade IcedTea6 to 1.8.9, 1.9.9, or vendor-fixed packages.; Apply Ubuntu USN-1178-1 or Red Hat RHSA-2011:1100 where applicable..
