RHSA-2007:0818-01 Critical: java-1.5.0-sun security update

Posted by Bob on: 08/06/2007 05:00 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

A new update is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Here the announcement:




-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Critical: java-1.5.0-sun security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0818-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0818.html
Issue date: 2007-08-06
Updated on: 2007-08-06
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras
CVE Names: CVE-2007-3503 CVE-2007-3655 CVE-2007-3698
CVE-2007-3922
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated java-1.5.0-sun packages that correct several security issues are
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) contains the software and tools
that users need to run applets and applications written using the Java
programming language.

The Javadoc tool was able to generate HTML documentation pages that
contained cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. A remote attacker
could use this to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. (CVE-2007-3503)

The Java Web Start URL parsing component contained a buffer overflow
vulnerability within the parsing code for JNLP files. A remote attacker
could create a malicious JNLP file that could trigger this flaw and execute
arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2007-3655)

The JSSE component did not correctly process SSL/TLS handshake requests. A
remote attacker who is able to connect to a JSSE-based service could
trigger this flaw leading to a denial-of-service. (CVE-2007-3698)

A flaw was found in the applet class loader. An untrusted applet could use
this flaw to circumvent network access restrictions, possibly connecting to
services hosted on the machine that executed the applet. (CVE-2007-3922)

All users of java-sun-1.5.0 should upgrade to these packages, which contain
Sun Java 1.5.0 Update 12 that corrects these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

246765 - CVE-2007-3503 HTML files generated with Javadoc are vulnerable to a XSS
248864 - CVE-2007-3655 A buffer overflow vulnerability in Java Web Start URL parsing code
249533 - CVE-2007-3922 Vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment May Allow an Untrusted Applet to Circumvent Network Access Restrictions
249539 - CVE-2007-3698 Java Secure Socket Extension Does Not Correctly Process SSL/TLS Handshake Requests Resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) Condition
