Does anyone know anything more about the Java vulnerability CVE-2009-2475? The only information I could find (see below) refers to problems with mutable static variables. Would Joe-E have prevented these flaws? (Joe-E bans mutable static variables.) Several, potential information leaks were found in various mutable static variables. These could be exploited in application scenarios that execute untrusted scripting code. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513215 Sun Java SE 5.0 before Update 20 and 6 before Update 15, and OpenJDK, might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors involving static variables that are declared without the final keyword, related to (1) LayoutQueue, (2) Cursor.predefined, (3) AccessibleResourceBundle.getContents, (4) ImageReaderSpi.STANDARD_INPUT_TYPE, (5) ImageWriterSpi.STANDARD_OUTPUT_TYPE, (6) the imageio plugins, (7) DnsContext.debug, (8) RmfFileReader/StandardMidiFileWriter.types, (9) AbstractSaslImpl.logger, (10) Synth.Region.uiToRegionMap/lowerCaseNameMap, (11) the Introspector class and a cache of BeanInfo, and (12) JAX-WS, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2673. http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2475
