Pluf has discovered a vulnerability in Sun Java JDK/SDK, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The jar tool does not check properly if the files to be extracted have the string "../" on its names, so it's possible for an attacker to create a malicious jar file in order to overwrite arbitrary files within the filesystem.
