CVE-2003-0896 Information

Description

The loadClass method of the sun.applet.AppletClassLoader class in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in Sun SDK and JRE 1.4.1_03 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass sandbox restrictions and execute arbitrary code via a loaded class name that contains /\ (slash) instead of .\ (dot) characters which bypasses a call to the Security Manager’s checkPackageAccess method.
