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

 

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:

 

The IBM 1.5.0 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and

the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

 

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 vulnerability in the XML processing API was found. A remote attacker who

caused malicious XML to be processed by an untrusted applet or application

was able to elevate permissions to access URLs on a remote host.

(CVE-2008-3106)

 

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the font processing code. This

allowed remote attackers to extend the permissions of an untrusted applet

or application, allowing it to read and/or write local files, as well as to

execute local applications accessible to the user running the untrusted

application. (CVE-2008-3108)

 

Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Java Web Start were reported.

These vulnerabilities allowed an untrusted Java Web Start application to

elevate its privileges, allowing it 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)

 

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

packages, that contain the IBM 1.5.0 SR8 Java release, which resolves

these issues.

 

4. Solution:
