Java Applets and DNS Rebinding

Java applets are pinned to DNS name rather than IP, so an XSS-cached applet can be DNS-rebound by reloading or launching a new JVM after the record changes. Unlike Flash sockets the applet may reach ports below 1024 and use Java's database and RMI libraries. A parallel NGS finding abuses a codebase URI prefixed 'verbatim:'.
