1. Summary:

 

Updated java-1.5.0-ibm packages that fix several security issues are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras and 5 Supplementary.

 

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 Extras - i386, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Desktop version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64

RHEL Desktop Supplementary (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

RHEL Supplementary (v. 5 server) - i386, ppc, s390x, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

IBM's 1.5.0 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and

the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

 

Two vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment allowed an untrusted

application or applet to elevate the assigned privileges. This could be

misused by a malicious website to read and write local files or execute

local applications in the context of the user running the Java process.

(CVE-2008-0657)

 

A flaw was found in the Java XSLT processing classes. An untrusted

application or applet could cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary

code with the permissions of the user running the JRE. (CVE-2008-1187)

 

Several buffer overflow flaws were found in Java Web Start (JWS). An

untrusted JNLP application could access local files or execute local

applications accessible to the user running the JRE.

(CVE-2008-1188, CVE-2008-1189, CVE-2008-1190, CVE-2008-1196)

 

A flaw was found in the Java Plug-in. A remote attacker could bypass the

same origin policy, executing arbitrary code with the permissions of the

user running the JRE. (CVE-2008-1192)

 

A flaw was found in the JRE image parsing libraries. An untrusted

application or applet could cause a denial of service, or possible execute

arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the JRE.

(CVE-2008-1193)

 

A flaw was found in the JRE color management library. An untrusted

application or applet could trigger a denial of service (JVM crash).

(CVE-2008-1194)

 

The JRE allowed untrusted JavaScript code to create local network

connections by the use of Java APIs. A remote attacker could use these

flaws to acesss local network services. (CVE-2008-1195)

 

All users of java-ibm-1.5.0 are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, that contain IBM's 1.5.0 SR7 Java release which resolves these

issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

 

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

 

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those

RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are

not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you

can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the

desired RPMs.

 

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many

people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,

launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

 

up2date

 

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate

RPMs being upgraded on your system.

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

431861 - CVE-2008-0657 java-1.5.0 Privilege escalation via unstrusted applet and application

436030 - CVE-2008-1187 Untrusted applet and application XSLT processing privilege escalation

436293 - CVE-2008-1188 Buffer overflow security vulnerabilities in Java Web Start (CVE-2008-1189, CVE-2008-1190)

436295 - CVE-2008-1192 Java Plugin same-origin-policy bypass

436296 - CVE-2008-1193 JRE image parsing library allows privilege escalation (CVE-2008-1194)

436299 - CVE-2008-1195 Java-API calls in untrusted Javascript allow network privilege escalation

436302 - CVE-2008-1196 Buffer overflow security vulnerabilities in Java Web Start
