Beware of Serialized GUI Objects Bearing Data
This presentation will highlight 0-days in Apache MyFaces and Sun
Mojarra that allow an attacker to access all server-side session data,
as well as some globally-scoped application variables. This
presentation will provide a live demonstration of the flaws. The tool
used to exploit the vulnerability will also be released.
A similar vulnerability is present in Microsoft's ASP.Net view state.
This may not technically be an 0-day, but it is a poorly known flaw
that has been present since the beginning days of .Net. A live
demonstration of this will also be performed.

Will something be done because of this?
I assume, this only affects people who
use the client for storing the view-state?
Does anyone have more information about this?
