Synopsis
The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.
Description
Sun Java was updated to 1.4.2u18 to fix following security vulnerabilities :
CVE-2008-3114: Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information (the cache location) via an untrusted application, aka CR 6704074.
CVE-2008-3113: Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16 and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows remote attackers to create or delete arbitrary files via an untrusted application, aka CR 6704077.
CVE-2008-3112: Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files via an untrusted application, aka CR 6703909.
CVE-2008-3111: Multiple buffer overflows in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 4, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allow context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted application, as demonstrated by an application that grants itself privileges to (1) read local files, (2) write to local files, or (3) execute local programs, aka CR 6557220.
CVE-2008-3108: Buffer overflow in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 10, SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18, and SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_23 allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via unspecified vectors related to font processing.
CVE-2008-3107: Unspecified vulnerability in the Virtual Machine in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted (1) application or (2) applet, as demonstrated by an application or applet that grants itself privileges to (a) read local files, (b) write to local files, or (c) execute local programs.
CVE-2008-3104: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18, and SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_23 allow remote attackers to violate the security model for an applet's outbound connections by connecting to localhost services running on the machine that loaded the applet.
Solution
Update the affected java-1_4_2-sun packages.
