"Fixing it would not change anything. Xlet (that requests the mount, or is
being executed from the mount) could as well uncompress the files by self
where it wants, even download other files from internet."

So, maybe you want to have a full Xlet sandboxing? Or is it something
else?

Yes, I do think full sandboxing is required because content publishers
have attacked end user system integrity in the past, so I don't think
they can be trusted.

BD-J code comes from Blu-Rays. Downloading non-official blurays and
executing it is like taking random binaries from internet and running
them.

Patches are welcome, though...


With my kindest regards,
