RHEL 5 : java-1.4.2-ibm (RHSA-2011:1159)

high Nessus Plugin ID 55854

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for java-1.4.2-ibm.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:1159 advisory.

The IBM 1.4.2 SR13-FP10 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit. Detailed vulnerability descriptions are linked from the IBM Security alerts page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2011-0311, CVE-2011-0802, CVE-2011-0814, CVE-2011-0862, CVE-2011-0865, CVE-2011-0867, CVE-2011-0871)

Note: The RHSA-2011:0490 java-1.4.2-ibm update did not, unlike the erratum text stated, provide a complete fix for the CVE-2011-0311 issue.

All users of java-1.4.2-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain the IBM 1.4.2 SR13-FP10 Java release. All running instances of IBM Java must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL java-1.4.2-ibm package based on the guidance in RHSA-2011:1159.
