Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in BEA JRockit. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Background |
| 21 |
========== |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
JRockit is BEA WebLogic's J2SE Development Kit. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 31 |
1 dev-java/jrockit-jdk-bin < 1.5.0.14 *>= 1.4.2.16 |
| 32 |
>= 1.5.0.14 |
| 33 |
|
| 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 |
|

# emerge --sync |
| 63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/jrockit-jdk-bin-1.4.2.16" |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
All JRockit 1.5 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
# emerge --sync |
| 68 |
