Apple Computer has patched a variety of Java-based security holes in Mac OS X that attackers could exploit to boost user privileges, tamper with existing files or create malicious ones. They also could intercept the traffic flow to Java applications.
Danish vulnerability management firm Secunia labeled the flaws "moderately critical," saying in an advisory that they could be exploited by malicious local users "to manipulate certain data, disclose sensitive information and gain escalated privileges, and by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions."
