1. Summary:

 

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

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras and 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:

 

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 1.6.0 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and

the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

 

A flaw was found in the Java Management Extensions (JMX) management agent.

When local monitoring is enabled, remote attackers could use this flaw to

perform illegal operations. (CVE-2008-3103)

 

Several flaws involving the handling of unsigned applets were found. A

remote attacker could misuse an unsigned applet in order to connect to

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

 

Several flaws in the Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) client and the

JAX-WS service implementation were found. A remote attacker who could cause

malicious XML to be processed by an application could access URLs, or cause

a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3105, CVE-2008-3106)

 

Several flaws within the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) scripting support

were found. A remote attacker could grant an untrusted applet extended

privileges, such as reading and writing local files, executing

local programs, or querying the sensitive data of other applets.

(CVE-2008-3109, CVE-2008-3110)

 

A flaw in Java Web Start was found. Using an untrusted Java Web

Start application, a remote attacker could create or delete arbitrary

files with the permissions of the user running the untrusted application.

(CVE-2008-3112)

 

A flaw in Java Web Start when processing untrusted applications was found.

An attacker could use this flaw to acquire sensitive information, such as

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

 

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

packages, containing the IBM 1.6.0 SR2 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.
