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 The vulnerabilities affect BEA JRockit versions R27.3.1 and prior, and BEA JRockit versions 7.0 SP6 and prior.

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)
My weblogic likes it on amd64, so I like it... amd64 stable...
x86 stable
ia64 stable
B2 so no need for a vote. glsa request filed.
it's GLSA 200709-15, s'ry for the delay
Just wondering why you didn't cover both slots as usual and glsa recommends only >=1.5.0.11_p1 ?
