CVE-2009-2718: Sun Java SE

Medium severity, CVSS 6.8. EPSS: 1.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) implementation in Sun Java SE 6 before Update 15 on X11 does not impose the intended constraint on distance from the window border to the Security Warning Icon, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to trick a user into interacting unsafely with an untrusted applet.

Affected products

• Sun Java SE: version 6 only
