Dear All,

I'm curious, who actually uses Java Web Start in anger? I've played with it, but I never saw any professional use of it.

Anyway, iDefense Labs found that there was an issue with the GIF decoding in Java Web Start (http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/display.php?id=758).

Sun has already released patches (http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-244987-1).
