1. Impact

    A security vulnerability in Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8 may allow a
    local unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary commands as a
    user who runs Sun Java Studio due to the creation of certain files
    with world-writable permissions when the product is installed by root.

2. Contributing Factors

        without patch 121045-04

3. Symptoms

    If the described issue occurs, certain files in the install directory
    will be world-writable when the product is installed by root.

4. Relief/Workaround

    No file under the install directory should be world-writable.

    To work around the described issue, the following command can be used
    to manually remove the write permission for others:
     $ find <jstudio_ent8> -perm -o+w -exec chmod o-w {} \;

    Note: <jstudio_ent8> is the installation root directory.

5. Resolution
