Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:0267-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0267.html

Issue date: 2008-05-19

CVE Names: CVE-2008-1187 CVE-2008-1188 CVE-2008-1189

CVE-2008-1190 CVE-2008-1191 CVE-2008-1192

CVE-2008-1196

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated java-1.6.0-ibm packages that fix several security issues are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.

 

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

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

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

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

 

3. Description:

 

IBM's 1.6.0 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment, and

the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

 

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-2008-1191, 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 possibly 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 access local network services. (CVE-2008-1195)

 

All users of java-1.6.0-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, that contain IBM's 1.6.0 SR1 Java release, which resolves these

issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188
