1. Summary:

Updated java-1.5.0-ibm packages that fix several security issues are now
available for Red Hat Network Satellite Server.

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

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.2 (RHEL v.4 AS) - i386, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.2 (RHEL v.5) - i386, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

This update corrects several security vulnerabilities in the IBM Java 2
Runtime Environment and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit, shipped as
part of Red Hat Network Satellite Server. In a typical operating
environment, these are of low security risk as the runtime is not used on
untrusted applets.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the IBM Java 2 Runtime
Environment and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit. These
vulnerabilities are summarized on the IBM "Security alerts" page listed in
the References section. (CVE-2008-3103, CVE-2008-5345, CVE-2008-5346,
CVE-2008-5348, CVE-2008-5349, CVE-2008-5350, CVE-2008-5351, CVE-2008-5352,
CVE-2008-5353, CVE-2008-5354, CVE-2008-5356, CVE-2008-5357, CVE-2008-5359,
CVE-2008-5360)

All users of java-1.5.0-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, containing the IBM 1.5.0 SR9 Java release. All running instances
of IBM Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
