Background ========= BEA JRockit provides tools, utilities, and a complete runtime environment for developing and running applications using the Java programming language. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-java/jrockit-jdk-bin < 1.5.0.11_p1 > = 1.5.0.11_p1 Description ========== An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the embedded ICC profile image parser (CVE-2007-2788), an unspecified vulnerability exists in the font parsing implementation (CVE-2007-4381), and an error exists when processing XSLT stylesheets contained in XSLT Transforms in XML signatures (CVE-2007-3716), among other vulnerabilities. Impact ===== A remote attacker could trigger the integer overflow to execute arbitrary code or crash the JVM through a specially crafted file. Also, an attacker could perform unauthorized actions via an applet that grants certain privileges to itself because of the font parsing vulnerability. The error when processing XSLT stylesheets can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. Othervulnerabilities could lead to establishing restricted network connections to certain services, Cross Site Scripting and Denial of Service attacks. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time for all these vulnerabilities. Resolution ========= All BEA JRockit users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =dev-java/jrockit-jdk-bin-1.5.0.11_p1" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2007-2788 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-2788 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-2789 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-2789 [ 3 ] CVE-2007-3004 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-3004 [ 4 ] CVE-2007-3005 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-3005 [ 5 ] CVE-2007-3503 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-3503 [ 6 ] CVE-2007-3698 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-3698 [ 7 ] CVE-2007-3716 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-3716 [ 8 ] CVE-2007-3922 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-3922 [ 9 ] CVE-2007-4381 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-4381 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200709-15 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
