CVE-2009-2717 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) implementation in Sun Java SE 6 before Update 15 on Windows 2000 Professional does not provide a Security Warning Icon, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to trick a user into interacting unsafely with an untrusted applet.. EPSS estimates a 1.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
