3. Description:

IBM's 1.4.2 SR12 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment
and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

Multiple vulnerabilities with unsigned applets were reported. A remote
attacker could misuse an unsigned applet to connect to localhost services
running on the host running the applet. (CVE-2008-3104)

Two file processing vulnerabilities in Java Web Start were found. Using an
untrusted Java Web Start application, a remote attacker was able to create
or delete arbitrary files with the permissions of the user running the
untrusted application. (CVE-2008-3112, CVE-2008-3113)

A vulnerability in Java Web Start when processing untrusted applications
was reported. An attacker was able to acquire sensitive information, such
as the cache location. (CVE-2008-3114)

All users of java-1.4.2-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain IBM's 1.4.2 SR12 Java release which resolves these
issues.

4. Solution:

RedHat: Critical: java-1.4.2-ibm security update RHSA-2008:0955-01

Updated java-1.4.2-ibm packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras, and Red Hat Enterpris...

Summary

IBM's 1.4.2 SR12 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.
Multiple vulnerabilities with unsigned applets were reported. A remote attacker could misuse an unsigned applet to connect to localhost services running on the host running the applet. (CVE-2008-3104)
Two file processing vulnerabilities in Java Web Start were found. Using an untrusted Java Web Start application, a remote attacker was able to create or delete arbitrary files with the permissions of the user running the untrusted application. (CVE-2008-3112, CVE-2008-3113)
A vulnerability in Java Web Start when processing untrusted applications was reported. An attacker was able to acquire sensitive information, such as the cache location. (CVE-2008-3114)
All users of java-1.4.2-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain IBM's 1.4.2 SR12 Java release which resolves these issues.
