• Product: Gentoo Security
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Matt Fleming (RETIRED) 2007-08-29 18:56:44 UTC]

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in JRockit, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service), or to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An integer overflow error within the parser for embedded ICC
profiles of JPG and BMP images can be exploited to cause a DoS or to
potentially execute arbitrary code.

For more information see vulnerability #1 in:
SA25295

2) An error within the BMP file parser can be exploited to cause a
DoS.

For more information see vulnerability #2 in:
SA25295

3) An error when generating HTML documentation pages with JavaDoc can
potentially be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

For more information:
SA25769

4) An error exists when processing SSL/TLS handshake requests can be
exploited to cause a DoS.

For more information see vulnerability #1:
SA26015

5) An error within the Java Runtime Environment Applet Class Loader
can be exploited to establish restricted network connections to
certain services running on the local host.

For more information see vulnerability #2:
SA26015

6) An error when processing XSLT stylesheets contained in XSLT
Transforms in XML signatures can be exploited to execute arbitrary
code.

For more information:
SA26031

7) An unspecified error in the parsing of fonts contained in Java
applets can be exploited to read and write local files, or to execute
local applications.

For more information:
SA26402

and BEA JRockit versions 7.0 SP6 and prior.

CC'ing maintainers and setting whiteboard status.

Thanks for the info. Would never find it by my occasional looking at the download pages, they released it in a nonstandard way, hm.

Added, had to make up the _p1 suffix to distinguish it, which upstream didn't.

Arches please stabilize:
1.4.2.14_p1 (x86+ia64 only)
1.5.0.11_p1 (all)

[Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-08-31 17:43:44 UTC]

My weblogic likes it on amd64, so I like it... amd64 stable...

[Comment 4 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2007-09-01 08:37:31 UTC]

x86 stable

[Comment 5 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2007-09-01 10:27:10 UTC]

ia64 stable

[Comment 6 Pierre-Yves Rofes (RETIRED) 2007-09-08 12:15:44 UTC]

B2 so no need for a vote. glsa request filed.

[Comment 7 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) 2007-09-23 22:33:41 UTC]

it's GLSA 200709-15, s'ry for the delay

[Comment 8 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2007-09-24 18:34:04 UTC]

Just wondering why you didn't cover both slots as usual and glsa recommends only >=1.5.0.11_p1 ?
