What is CVE-2009-0169?

The Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 has a vulnerability that permits remote authenticated sub-realm administrators to elevate their privileges. This occurs through the creation of an 'amadmin' account within a sub-realm. Once established, these administrators can exploit their elevated status to log in as 'amadmin' in the root realm, thereby gaining unauthorized access and control over sensitive system functions.
