Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Java Development Kit |
| 19 |
(JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE), resulting in the execution of |
| 20 |
arbitrary code. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Background |
| 23 |
========== |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The IBM Java Development Kit (JDK) and the IBM Java Runtime Environment |
| 26 |
(JRE) provide the IBM Java platform. |

Description |
| 43 |
=========== |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Because of sharing the same codebase, IBM JDK and JRE are affected by |
| 46 |
the vulnerabilities mentioned in GLSA 200804-20. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Impact |
| 49 |
====== |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted applet |
| 52 |
on a website or start an application in Java Web Start to execute |
| 53 |
arbitrary code outside of the Java sandbox and of the Java security |
| 54 |
restrictions with the privileges of the user running Java. The attacker |
| 55 |
could also obtain sensitive information, create, modify, rename and |
| 56 |
read local files, execute local applications, establish connections in |
| 57 |
the local network, bypass the same origin policy, and cause a Denial of |
| 58 |
Service via multiple vectors. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Workaround |
| 61 |
========== |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Resolution |
| 66 |
========== |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
All IBM JDK 1.5 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
# emerge --sync |
| 71 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin-1.5.0.7" |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
All IBM JDK 1.4 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
# emerge --sync |
| 76 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2.11" |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
All IBM JRE 1.5 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
# emerge --sync |
| 81 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/ibm-jre-bin-1.5.0.7" |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
All IBM JRE 1.4 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
# emerge --sync |
| 86 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/ibm-jre-bin-1.4.2.11" |
