Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Low

Topic

Red Hat Network Satellite Server version 5.1.1 is now available. This
update includes fixes for a number of security issues in the Red Hat
Network Satellite Server IBM Java Runtime Environment for IBM S/390 and IBM
System z architectures.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.

Description

This release corrects several security vulnerabilities in the IBM Java
Runtime Environment shipped as part of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.1
for IBM S/390 and IBM System z architectures. In a typical operating
environment, these are of low security risk as the runtime is not used on
untrusted applets.

Multiple flaws were fixed in the IBM Java 1.5.0 Runtime Environment.
(CVE-2008-0657, CVE-2008-1187, CVE-2008-1188, CVE-2008-1189, CVE-2008-1190,
CVE-2008-1192, CVE-2008-1193, CVE-2008-1194, CVE-2008-1195, CVE-2008-1196,
CVE-2008-3104, CVE-2008-3106, CVE-2008-3108, CVE-2008-3111, CVE-2008-3112,
CVE-2008-3113, CVE-2008-3114)

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.1 are advised to upgrade to
