Ubuntu Security Notice 1178-1 - Omair Majid discovered that an unsigned Web Start application or applet could determine the path to the cache directory used to store downloaded class and jar files by querying class loader properties. This could allow a remote attacker to discover a user's name and home directory path. Omair Majid discovered that an unsigned Web Start application could manipulate the content of the security warning dialog message to show different file names in prompts. This could allow a remote attacker to confuse a user into granting access to a different file than they believe they are granting access to. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.04. Various other issues were also addressed.
