3. Description:

IBM's 1.4.2 SR11 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment
and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

A flaw was found in the Java XSLT processing classes. An untrusted
application or applet could cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary
code with the permissions of the user running the JRE. (CVE-2008-1187)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in Java Web Start (JWS). An untrusted
application using the Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) could access
local files or execute local applications accessible to the user running
the JRE. (CVE-2008-1196) 

All users of java-1.4.2-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain IBM's 1.4.2 SR11 Java release which resolves these
issues.
