Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in emul-linux-x86-java, |
| 19 |
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of |
| 20 |
Service. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Background |
| 23 |
========== |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
emul-linux-x86-java is the 32 bit version of the Sun's J2SE Development |
| 26 |
Kit. |

Description |
| 37 |
=========== |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Chris Evans of the Google Security Team has discovered an integer |
| 40 |
overflow in the ICC parser, and another vulnerability in the BMP |
| 41 |
parser. An unspecified vulnerability involving an "incorrect use of |
| 42 |
system classes" was reported by the Fujitsu security team. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Impact |
| 45 |
====== |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted |
| 48 |
image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the |
| 49 |
privileges of the user running Emul-linux-x86-java. They also could |
| 50 |
entice a user to open a specially crafted BMP image, resulting in a |
| 51 |
Denial of Service. Note that these vulnerabilities may also be |
| 52 |
triggered by a tool processing image files automatically. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Workaround |
| 55 |
========== |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Resolution |
| 60 |
========== |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
All Emul-linux-x86-java users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
# emerge --sync |
| 65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java-1.5.0.11" |
| 66 |
