Summary: Updated java-1.5.0-bea packages that correct several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras and 5 Supplementary. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 Extras - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 Extras - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 Extras - i386, ia64, x86_64 RHEL Supplementary (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Description: The BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.5.0_14 JRE and SDK contain BEA WebLogic JRockit Virtual Machine 1.5.0_14 and are certified for the Java 5 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.5.0. A flaw in the applet caching mechanism of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) did not correctly process the creation of network connections. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create connections to services on machines other than the one that the applet was downloaded from. (CVE-2007-5232) Untrusted Java Applets were able to drag and drop a file to a Desktop Application. A user-assisted remote attacker could use this flaw to move or copy arbitrary files. (CVE-2007-5239) The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) allowed untrusted Java Applets or applications to display oversized windows. This could be used by remote attackers to hide security warning banners. (CVE-2007-5240) Unsigned Java Applets communicating via a HTTP proxy could allow a remote attacker to violate the Java security model. A cached, malicious Applet could create network connections to services on other machines. (CVE-2007-5273) Two vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment allowed an untrusted application or applet to elevate the assigned privileges. This could be misused by a malicious website to read and write local files or execute local applications in the context of the user running the Java process. (CVE-2008-0657) Those vulnerabilities concerned with applets can only be triggered in java-1.5.0-bea by calling the 'appletviewer' application. All users of java-1.5.0-bea should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain the BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.5.0_14 release that resolves 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.
