i've just seen this newer version of the 1.5 series, thanks
1.5.0.12 FP1 and 1.6.0.8 FP1 are now out
Seems there are security reasons for the bumps: 1.6 slot: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/alerts/ mentions CVE-2010-0887 1.5 slot: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21420576 mentions some sun security bulletins (at least in .11 FP 2 which we don't have so .12 FP1 will work too)
Please stabilize: dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin-1.6.0.8_p1 dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin-1.5.0.12_p1 dev-java/ibm-jre-bin-1.6.0.8_p1 dev-java/ibm-jre-bin-1.5.0.12_p1 distfiles will be available as usual via ssh in d.g.o:~caster/tmp

GLSA request filed.
A quick search shows no results for a GLSA that was released per previous comments. The issue was fixed in later releases from Sun and marked stable. No vulnerable versions are in the tree as of a long time. The package is also masked.
