Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The jdk in Scientific Linux 4 and 5 is being updated from 1.5.0 to 1.6.0. This update provides some security updates, as well as several feature updates. Java code that was able to run on version 1.5.0 should be able run on the 1.6.0 version. It is recommended that you recompiled your java code on 1.6.0, but it is not required.

NOTE1: jdk-1.6.0_10-fcs.i586.rpm has been digitally signed, but jdk-1.6.0_10-fcs.x86_64.rpm has not been. We tried out best, but were not able to sign it without breaking it.

Solution

Update the affected java-1.5.0-sun-compat, java-1.6.0-sun-compat and / or jdk packages.
