Description

Oracle Java contains a flaw related to the SE Deployment component. The issue is triggered when Java Webstart fails to safely handle double quotes placed anywhere except the beginning of certain propery names in NJLP files. For example, the 'java-vm-args' parameter in the j2se tag within a jnlp file can be used to inject arbitrary command-line arguments into a javaw.exec process by using double quotes.
