So I downloaded and built JDK from slackbuilds, (64-bit) but I don't have it listed in my plugins for Firefox. Seems from the documentation that it is not enabled by default, but how do I enable it?
as it's really dangerous, the parameter it's well hidden in the SlackBuild: see this block (from it)
Code:
if [ ${EXPLOIT_ME:-"no"} = "YES" ] ;then
mkdir -p $PKG/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/mozilla/plugins
cd $PKG/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/mozilla/plugins
ln -sf /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/java/jre/lib/${LIB_ARCH}/libnpjp2.so libnpjp2.so
else
echo "
The February 2013 Critical Patch Update for Java SE addressed 50
security vulnerabilities, 44 of which affected the use of Java
as a plug-in for Web browers.
!! THE MOZILLA PLUGIN IS NO LONGER ACTIVATED BY DEFAULT !!
"
sleep 5
fi
so, if you really like to be pwned, pass the parameter EXPLOIT_ME=YES when launching it.
Thanks for the heads up and help. It is work related though, need to config a camera, and only way to test it is with activex or java (ethernet based webcam). Ah well..
-edit
Well I passed the parameters ./slackbuid ./jdk.SlackBuild jdk-7u25-linux-x64.tar.gz EXPLOIT_ME=YES , installed pkg, rebooted Firefox, but nothing - my device asks me to have java installed.
