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 |

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" |
