I have an signed applet embedded in a web page.
<br/>
<br/>
The applet jar includes :
<br/>
slf4j-api-1.7.1.jar
<br/>
logback-classic-1.0.7.jar
<br/>
logback-core-1.0.7.jar
<br/>
<br/>
This sample code is called from the javascript (without elevated privileged) :
<br/>
<br/>
public void foo() {
<br/>
try {
<br/>
bar();
<br/>
} catch (Exception e) {
<br/>
LoggerFactory.getLogger("TestTraceApp").error("Exception caught", e);
<br/>
}
<br/>
}
<br/>
<br/>
private void bar() throws Exception {
<br/>
throw new Exception("text");
<br/>
}
<br/>
<br/>
It creates a lot of "trash" in the java console (see attached javaconsole.txt).
<br/>
<br/>
The bug seems to be in :
<br/>
<br/>
ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.PackagingDataCalculator.bestEffortLoadClass() :
<br/>
<br/>
This method tries to call Class.forName() => which requires permissions which the applet does not have.
<br/>
And in case of exception the code falls back to :
<br/>
<br/>
"240 e.printStackTrace(); // this is unexpected"
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
And the stack trace is displayed for each initial exception frame :(.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Solutions:
<br/>
1. Catch AccessControlException and simply returning null as we have no rights to call Class.forName() => safest and simplest solution.
<br/>
2. Call Class.forName() inside an AccessController.doPrivileged() call => but security impacts must be studied.
