CVE-2009-2718
Last modified
CVE-2009-2718 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.71% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
