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.

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.
