Sun Java JRE Multiple Vulnerabilities (102729 / 102732) (Unix)

high Nessus Plugin ID 64818

Synopsis

The remote Unix host has a version of Sun's Java Runtime Environment that is affected by several vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version number, the Sun JRE installed on the remote host has two buffer overflow issues that may allow an untrusted applet to elevate its privileges to, for example, read or write local files or to execute local applications subject to the privileges of the user running the applet.

In addition, another set of vulnerabilities may allow an untrusted applet to access data in other applets.

Solution

Update to Sun Java 2 JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 8 / SDK and JRE 1.4.2_13 / SDK and JRE 1.3.1_19 or later and remove, if necessary, any affected versions.
