Vulnerability Instance

This module exploits a flaw in the Web Start plugin component of Sun Java
          Web Start. The arguments passed to Java Web Start are not properly validated.
          By passing the lesser known -J option, an attacker can pass arbitrary options
          directly to the Java runtime. By utilizing the -XXaltjvm option, as discussed
          by Ruben Santamarta, an attacker can execute arbitrary code in the context of
          an unsuspecting browser user.

          This vulnerability was originally discovered independently by both Ruben
          Santamarta and Tavis Ormandy. Tavis reported that all versions since version
          6 Update 10 "are believed to be affected by this vulnerability."

          In order for this module to work, it must be ran as root on a server that
          does not serve SMB. Additionally, the target host must have the WebClient
          service (WebDAV Mini-Redirector) enabled.
