gcjwebplugin is a Java plugin for web browsers. It does not include the security manager which is a crucial part of the "sandboxing" of Java applets. The maintainers have "fixed" this bug (#267040) merely by adding a warning prompt before running applets, which is well known to be an insufficient means of protecting users from malware. Please do not include it in lenny. (Unfortunately it is built from the classpath source package, so that will have to be modified to remove it.)
