Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

soeben erreichte uns das nachfolgende Bulletin des SUN Customer Warning
System. Wir geben diese Informationen unveraendert an Sie weiter.

  Sun Bug Id# 6571539 - Schwachstelle in der Java Runtime Environment
  Virtual Machine

  Eine nicht naeher beschriebene Schwachstelle in der Virtual Machine
  des Java Runtime Environment erlaubt es einem Applet sich selbst die
  Berechtigung zu geben, Dateien ausserhalb der Sandbox zu lesen, zu
  schreiben und Programme auszufuehren. Ein entfernter Angreifer kann
  dadurch beliebige Befehle mit den Rechten des Benutzers ausfuehren,
  wenn dieser ein entsprechendes Applet des Angreifers laedt.

  JDK und JRE:
   * JDK und JRE 6 vor Update 3
   * JDK und JRE 5.0 vor Update 13 
   * SDK und JRE vor 1.4.2_16 
   * SDK und JRE vor 1.3.1_21
  
  JDK 6 Update 3 fuer Solaris:
   * Java SE 6 Update 3 (Patch 125136-04)
   * Java SE 6 Update 3 (Patch 125137-04 (64bit))
   * Java SE 6_x86 Update 3 (Patch 125138-04)
   * Java SE 6_x86 Update 3 (Patch 125139-04 (64bit))
  
  JDK 5.0 Update 13 fuer Solaris:

Sun(sm) Alert Notification
     * Sun Alert ID: 103112
     * Synopsis: Vulnerability in Java Runtime Environment Virtual Machine May
       Allow Untrusted Application or Applet to Elevate Privileges
     * Category: Security
     * Product: Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
     * BugIDs: 6571539
     * Avoidance: Patch, Upgrade
     * State: Resolved
     * Date Released: 22-Oct-2007
     * Date Closed: 22-Oct-2007
     * Date Modified:

1. Impact

   A vulnerability in the Virtual Machine of the Java Runtime Environment may
   allow an untrusted applet to elevate its privileges. For example, an applet
   may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local
   applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted applet.

   Sun acknowledges with thanks, Azul Systems, Inc., for bringing this issue to
   our attention.

2. Contributing Factors

   This issue can occur in the following releases (for Windows, Solaris, and
   Linux):
     * JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier
     * JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier
     * SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier
     * SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier

   To determine the default version of the JRE that Internet Explorer uses:
    1. Click "Tools" in the Menu Bar at the top of the browser
    2. Select "Sun Java Console"
    3. The first two lines in the console display the version of Java Plug-in
       and JRE that Internet Explorer uses.

   To determine the default version of the JRE that Mozilla or Firefox browsers
   use, visit the URL "about:plugins".

   The browser will display a page called "Installed plug-ins" which lists the
   version of the Java Plug-in:

   Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_11-b03

   The above example indicates that the version of the JRE that the browser
   uses is 1.5.0_11.

3. Symptoms

   There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the issue described is
   being exploited.
