<title>Sun and Blackdown Java: Applet privilege escalation</title>
<synopsis>
Sun's and Blackdown's JDK or JRE may allow untrusted applets to elevate
their privileges.

<background>
<p>
Sun and Blackdown both provide implementations of the Java
Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
</p>

<description>
<p>
Adam Gowdiak discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the Java
Runtime Environment's Reflection APIs that may allow untrusted applets
to elevate privileges.

<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could embed a malicious Java applet in a web
page and entice a victim to view it. This applet can then bypass
security restrictions and execute any command or access any file with
the rights of the user running the web browser.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There are no known workarounds at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Sun JDK users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.09&quot;</code>
<p>
All Sun JRE users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.09&quot;</code>
<p>
All Blackdown JDK users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03&quot;</code>
<p>
All Blackdown JRE users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-java/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03&quot;</code>
<p>
Note to SPARC and PPC users: There is no stable secure
Blackdown Java for the SPARC or PPC architectures. Affected users on
the PPC architecture should consider switching to the IBM Java packages
(ibm-jdk-bin and ibm-jre-bin). Affected users on the SPARC should
remove the package until a SPARC package is released.
