APPLE-SA-2008-09-24 Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 is now available and addresses the
following issues:
Java
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-3638
Available for: Mac OS X v10.5.4 and later,
Mac OS X Server v10.5.4 and later
Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to arbitrary
code execution
Description: The Java plug-in does not block applets from launching
file:// URLs. Visiting a website containing a maliciously crafted
Java applet may allow a remote attacker to launch local files, which
may lead to arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue
through improved handling of URLs. This is an Apple-specific issue.
Credit to Nitesh Dhanjani and Billy Rios for reporting this issue.
Java
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-3637
Available for: Mac OS X v10.5.4 and later,

Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to arbitrary
code execution
Description: An error checking issue leading to the use of an
uninitialized variable exists in the Hash-based Message
Authentication Code (HMAC) provider used for generating MD5 and SHA-1
hashes. Visiting a website containing a maliciously crafted Java
applet may lead to arbitrary code execution. This update addresses
the issue through improved error handling. This is an Apple-specific
issue. Credit to Radim Marek for reporting this issue.
