The LiveConnect implementation in plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc in IcedTea-Web before 1.4.2 allows local users to read the messages between a Java applet and a web browser by pre-creating a temporary socket file with a predictable name in /tmp.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an older IcedTea-Web issue where a local user on the same machine could intercept messages between a Java applet and the browser. It depends on legacy Java applet/plugin use and local account access, so business urgency is highest for shared Linux desktops or kiosks still running old IcedTea-Web packages. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems using IcedTea-Web Java browser plugin functionality, especially shared hosts with untrusted local users. Modern environments without Java applet/browser plugin use are unlikely to be exposed. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an internet-scale emergency. Escalate priority if the organization still runs Java applet workflows on shared Linux systems with multiple local users. Mitigation focus: Upgrade IcedTea-Web to 1.4.2 or a vendor package containing that fix.; Use Ubuntu, openSUSE, or Red Hat guidance for distribution-specific package status.; Retire Java applet browser workflows where they are no longer required..
