Synopsis
Moderate: java-1.4.2-ibm-sap security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Moderate
Topic
Updated java-1.4.2-ibm-sap packages that fix one security issue are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 and 6 for SAP.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.
Description
The IBM 1.4.2 SR13-FP8 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime
Environment and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way certain strings were
converted to Double objects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause
Java based applications to hang, for example, if they parsed Double values
in a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2010-4476)
Note: The java-1.4.2-ibm packages were renamed to java-1.4.2-ibm-sap to
correct a naming overlap; however, java-1.4.2-ibm-sap does not
automatically obsolete the previous java-1.4.2-ibm packages for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 for SAP. Refer to the RHBA-2010:0491 and
RHBA-2010:0530 advisories, listed in the References, for further
information.
All users of java-1.4.2-ibm-sap for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 and 6 for
SAP are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain the IBM
1.4.2 SR13-FP8 Java release. All running instances of IBM Java must be
restarted for this update to take effect.
