The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200709-15 (BEA JRockit: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the embedded ICC profile     image parser (CVE-2007-2788), an unspecified vulnerability exists in     the font parsing implementation (CVE-2007-4381), and an error exists     when processing XSLT stylesheets contained in XSLT Transforms in XML     signatures (CVE-2007-3716), among other vulnerabilities.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could trigger the integer overflow to execute     arbitrary code or crash the JVM through a specially crafted file. Also,     an attacker could perform unauthorized actions via an applet that     grants certain privileges to itself because of the font parsing     vulnerability. The error when processing XSLT stylesheets can be     exploited to execute arbitrary code. Other vulnerabilities could lead     to establishing restricted network connections to certain services,     Cross Site Scripting and Denial of Service attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time for all these     vulnerabilities.

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.

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.

The remote Mac OS X 10.4 host is running a version of Java for Mac OS X that is older than release 6.

The remote version of this software contains several security vulnerabilities that may allow a rogue Java applet to escalate its privileges and to add or remove arbitrary items from the user's KeyChain.

To exploit these flaws, an attacker would need to lure an attacker into executing a rogue Java applet.

A buffer overflow in the Java Runtime Environment image handling code was found. An untrusted applet or application could use this flaw to elevate its privileges and potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running the java virtual machine. (CVE-2007-2788, CVE-2007-2789, CVE-2007-3004)

An unspecified vulnerability was discovered in the Java Runtime Environment. An untrusted applet or application could cause the java virtual machine to become unresponsive. (CVE-2007-3005)

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)

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.

The BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.5.0_11 JRE and SDK contain BEA WebLogic JRockit Virtual Machine 1.5.0_11 and are certified for the Java 5 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.5.0.

A flaw was found in the BEA Java Runtime Environment GIF image handling. If an application processes untrusted GIF image input, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running the Java Virtual Machine. (CVE-2007-0243)

A buffer overflow in the Java Runtime Environment image handling code was found. If an attacker is able to cause a server application to process a specially crafted image file, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running the Java Virtual Machine.
(CVE-2007-2788, CVE-2007-2789, CVE-2007-3004)

A denial of service flaw was discovered in the Java Applet Viewer. An untrusted Java applet could cause the Java Virtual Machine to become unresponsive. Please note that the BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.5.0_11 does not ship with a browser plug-in and therefore this issue could only be triggered by a user running the 'appletviewer' application.
(CVE-2007-3005)

A cross site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the Javadoc tool. An attacker could inject arbitrary content into a Javadoc generated HTML documentation page, possibly tricking a user or stealing sensitive information. (CVE-2007-3503)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the JSSE component processed SSL/TLS handshake requests. A remote attacker able to connect to a JSSE enabled service could send a specially crafted handshake which would cause the Java Runtime Environment to stop responding to future requests. (CVE-2007-3698)

A flaw was found in the way the Java Runtime Environment processes font data. An applet viewed via the 'appletviewer' application could elevate its privileges, allowing the applet to perform actions with the same permissions as the user running the 'appletviewer' application. It may also be possible to crash a server application which processes untrusted font information from a third party.

NOTE: These packages have been tested to not remove newer jdks (such as 1.6 or 1.7)

NOTE: This combination of rpm's replaces j2sdk-1.4.2 with jdk-1.5.0.
So your java will change from version 1.4.2 to 1.5.0. We apologize if this causes any problems, but it needed to be done for security reasons.
