3. Description:

The BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.5.0_14 JRE and SDK contain BEA WebLogic JRockit
Virtual Machine 1.5.0_14, and are certified for the Java 5 Platform,
Standard Edition, v1.5.0.

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 flaw was found in the JRE image parsing libraries. An untrusted
application or applet could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the JRE.
(CVE-2008-1193)

A flaw was found in the JRE color management library. An untrusted
application or applet could trigger a denial of service (JVM crash).
(CVE-2008-1194)

The vulnerabilities concerning applets listed above can only be triggered
in java-1.5.0-bea, by calling the "appletviewer" application.

Users of java-1.5.0-bea are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.
