|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in BEA JRockit. |
19 |
|
20 |
Background |
21 |
========== |
22 |
|
23 |
JRockit is BEA WebLogic's J2SE Development Kit. |
24 |
|

|
34 |
Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Because of sharing the same codebase, JRockit is affected by the |
38 |
vulnerabilities mentioned in GLSA 200804-20. |
39 |
|
40 |
Impact |
41 |
====== |
42 |
|
43 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted applet |
44 |
on a website or start an application in Java Web Start to execute |
45 |
arbitrary code outside of the Java sandbox and of the Java security |
46 |
restrictions with the privileges of the user running Java. The attacker |
47 |
could also obtain sensitive information, create, modify, rename and |
48 |
read local files, execute local applications, establish connections in |
49 |
the local network, bypass the same origin policy, and cause a Denial of |
50 |
Service via multiple vectors. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All JRockit 1.4 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |

64 |
|
65 |
All JRockit 1.5 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
66 |
