Summary: gnu.java.net.PlainSocketImpl security risk
Product: gcc
Version: 3.4
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libgcj
AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
ReportedBy: bryce at mckinlay dot net dot nz
CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
PlainSocketImpl is now a public class in the gnu.java.net package. This could pose a security risk
as untrusted code could open a socket by constructing a PlainSocketImpl directly and
bypassing java.net security checks.
It probably needs a security check to be added to its constructor.
