Are there any security issues running JMF applets with Java 2?

0

If JMF is locally installed on a machine, there will be no security issues running JMF applets. If JMF is not locally installed, JMF applets may not be able to perform some functions like playing back locally stored media files or saving media files locally. Such actions are considered to be high risk and are protected by the Java 2 security manager. If a user chooses to allow that, he/she can do so by making use of a policy file. Here are a few settings that the user may want to selectively enable:For playing media files stored locally: permission java.io.FilePermission “/*”, “read”;For all-java audio playback:permission java.lang.RuntimePermission “accessClassInPackage.sun.misc”;permission java.lang.RuntimePermission “accessClassInPackage.sun.audio”;To allow JMF to modify the run-time thread priorities: permission java.lang.RuntimePermission “modifyThread”; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission “modifyThreadGroup”;For loading native libraries: permission java
