Updated java-1.6.0-ibm packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

This update corrects several security vulnerabilities in the IBM Java Runtime Environment shipped as part of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.5. In a typical operating environment, these are of low security risk as the runtime is not used on untrusted applets.

Several flaws were fixed in the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment.

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain the IBM Java SE 6 SR14 release. For this update to take effect, Red Hat Network Satellite Server must be restarted ('/usr/sbin/rhn-satellite restart'), as well as all running instances of IBM Java.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the 2D component handled certain sample model instances. A specially crafted sample model instance could cause Java Virtual Machine memory corruption and, possibly, lead to arbitrary code execution with virtual machine privileges. (CVE-2013-0809)

It was discovered that the 2D component did not properly reject certain malformed images. Specially crafted raster parameters could cause Java Virtual Machine memory corruption and, possibly, lead to arbitrary code execution with virtual machine privileges.
(CVE-2013-1493)

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7.x installed on the remote host is earlier than Update 17.  It therefore, potentially can allow remote code execution due to the following vulnerabilities related to the '2D' sub-component :

  - An integer overflow error exists related to handling sample model instances that could result in memory corruption leading to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-0809)

  - An unspecified error exists that could allow memory to be overwritten and could allow the security manager to be bypassed, thus leading to application crashes or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1493)

Please note this issue affects client deployments only and is exploited through untrusted 'Java Web Start' applications and untrusted Java applets.
