Synopsis |
| 17 |
======== |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities have been identified in Sun Java |
| 20 |
Development Kit (JDK) and Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Background |
| 23 |
========== |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) and the Sun Java Runtime Environment |
| 26 |
(JRE) provide the Sun Java platform. The x86 emulation Sun's J2SE |
| 27 |
Development Kit for AMD64 contains a vulnerable version of Sun's JDK. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Affected packages |
| 30 |
================= |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 33 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 34 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 35 |
1 app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java < 1.5.0.10 >= 1.5.0.10 |

Description |
| 40 |
=========== |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Chris Evans has discovered multiple buffer overflows in Sun JDK and Sun |
| 43 |
JRE possibly related to various AWT or font layout functions. Tom |
| 44 |
Hawtin has discovered an unspecified vulnerability in Sun JDK and Sun |
| 45 |
JRE relating to unintended applet data access. He has also discovered |
| 46 |
multiple other unspecified vulnerabilities in Sun JDK and Sun JRE |
| 47 |
allowing unintended Java applet or application resource acquisition. |
| 48 |
Additionally, a memory corruption error has been found in the handling |
| 49 |
of GIF images with zero width field blocks. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Impact |
| 52 |
====== |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
An attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted Java applet |
| 55 |
or application that could read, write, or execute local files with the |
| 56 |
privileges of the user running the JVM, access data maintained in other |
| 57 |
Java applets, or escalate the privileges of the currently running Java |
| 58 |
applet or application allowing for unauthorized access to system |
| 59 |
resources. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Workaround |
| 62 |
========== |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Resolution |
| 67 |
========== |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
All AMD64 x86 emulation Sun's J2SE Development Kit users should upgrade |
| 70 |
to the latest version: |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
# emerge --sync |
| 73 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java-1.5.0.10" |
| 74 |
|
