SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1019936
CVE Reference:   CVE-2008-1187   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Apr 28 2008
Impact:   Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): SDK and JRE 1.4.2_16 and prior; JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 14 and prior; 6 Update 4 and and prior
Description:   A vulnerability was reported in Java. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.

A remote user can create a specially crafted applet that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a bug in the processing of XSLT transformations to gain elevated privileges on the target system. The applet can access files and web pages and potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Hisashi Kojima of Fujitsu and JPCERT/CC reported this vulnerability.
Impact:   A remote user can create an applet that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix for java-1.5.0-bea.

The BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.5.0_14 JRE and SDK contain BEA WebLogic JRockit
Virtual Machine 1.5.0_14, and are certified for the Java 5 Platform,
Standard Edition, v1.5.0.

A flaw was found in the Java XSLT processing classes. An untrusted
application or applet could cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary
code with the permissions of the user running the JRE. (CVE-2008-1187)

A flaw was found in the JRE image parsing libraries. An untrusted
application or applet could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the JRE.
(CVE-2008-1193)

A flaw was found in the JRE color management library. An untrusted
application or applet could trigger a denial of service (JVM crash).
(CVE-2008-1194)

The vulnerabilities concerning applets listed above can only be triggered
in java-1.5.0-bea, by calling the "appletviewer" application.

Users of java-1.5.0-bea are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.
