MacOSX Java Runtime Environment Remote Denial of Service. Java SDK and JRE contain a flaw which crops up when objects are being de-serialized. This affects servers which are remotely getting data fed over RMI/IIOP, as well as "evil applet" attacks where a user can be persuaded to visit a site and attempt to load an applet.

A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) involving object deserialization could be exploited remotely to cause the Java Virtual Machine to become unresponsive, which is a type of Denial-of-Service (DoS). This issue can affect the JRE if an application that runs on it accepts serialized data from an untrusted source. Includes Sun advisory announcing release of JDK 1.4.2_06 and a note from Marc Shoenefeld who discovered the flaw.

Sun Security Advisory - The XSLT processor included with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) may allow an untrusted applet to read data from another applet that is processed using the XSLT processor and may allow the untrusted applet to escalate privileges. All variants of Sun Java JRE 1.4.x and Sun Java SDK 1.4.x are affected, except releases 1.4.2_05 and above.

Attached is an exploit that crashes the Pointbase 4.6 database server that comes with the J2EE reference implementation. It is caused by fact that the Pointbase installation coming with j2ee/ri 1.4. is not equipped with an appropriate security manager, thus giving all jars implicitly all permissions. These unlimited permissions can be exploited by an attacker using jdbc to crash the jvm running the pointbase server. Further exploitations possible are information disclosure and remote command injection.
