A flaw was found in the Java Management Extensions (JMX) management agent. When local monitoring is enabled, remote attackers could use this flaw to perform illegal operations. (CVE-2008-3103)
Several flaws involving the handling of unsigned applets were found. A remote attacker could misuse an unsigned applet in order to connect to services on the host running the applet. (CVE-2008-3104)
Several flaws in the Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) client and the JAX-WS service implementation were found. A remote attacker who could cause malicious XML to be processed by an application could access URLs, or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3105, CVE-2008-3106)
Several flaws within the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) scripting support were found. A remote attacker could grant an untrusted applet extended privileges, such as reading and writing local files, executing local programs, or querying the sensitive data of other applets. (CVE-2008-3109, CVE-2008-3110)
A flaw in Java Web Start was found. Using an untrusted Java Web Start application, a remote attacker could create or delete arbitrary files with the permissions of the user running the untrusted application.

A flaw in Java Web Start when processing untrusted applications was found. An attacker could use this flaw to acquire sensitive information, such as the location of the cache. (CVE-2008-3114)
