The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2008:0156.
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.
