I am not a Java expert, but I think that the Java Verifier is NOT used on
Apps that >are executed with the Security Manager disabled (which I believe is the default >setting) or are loaded from a local disk (see "... applets loaded via the file system >are not passed through the byte code verifier" in http://java.sun.com/sfaq/) I believe that as of Java 1.2, all Java code except the core libraries must go through the verifier, unless it is specifically disabled (java -noverify). Note that Mustang will have a new, faster, better? verifier and that Sun has made the new design and implementation available to the community with a challenge to find security flaws in this important piece of their security architecture. https://jdk.dev.java.net/CTV/challenge.html. Kudos to Sun for engaging with the community this way. --Jeff _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
