Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:0595-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0595.html

Issue date: 2008-07-14

CVE Names: CVE-2008-3103 CVE-2008-3104 CVE-2008-3107

CVE-2008-3114

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated java-1.5.0-sun packages that correct 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, 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, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) contains the software and tools that

users need to run applets and applications written using the Java

programming language.

 

A vulnerability was found in the Java Management Extensions (JMX)

management agent, when local monitoring is enabled. This allowed remote

attackers to perform illegal operations. (CVE-2008-3103)

 

Multiple vulnerabilities with unsigned applets were reported. A remote

attacker could misuse an unsigned applet to connect to localhost services

running on the host running the applet. (CVE-2008-3104)

 

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) vulnerability could be triggered by an

untrusted application or applet. A remote attacker could grant an untrusted

applet extended privileges such as reading and writing local files, or

executing local programs. (CVE-2008-3107)

 

Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Java Web Start were reported.

These vulnerabilities may allow an untrusted Java Web Start application to

elevate its privileges and thereby grant itself permission to read and/or

write local files, as well as to execute local applications accessible to

the user running the untrusted application. (CVE-2008-3111)

 

Two file processing vulnerabilities in Java Web Start were found. A remote

attacker, by means of an untrusted Java Web Start application, was able to

create or delete arbitrary files with the permissions of the user running

the untrusted application. (CVE-2008-3112, CVE-2008-3113)

 

A vulnerability in Java Web Start when processing untrusted applications

was reported. An attacker was able to acquire sensitive information, such

as the cache location. (CVE-2008-3114)

 

Users of java-1.5.0-sun should upgrade to these updated packages, which

correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

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

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
