Revision History: March 27 2009: Added CVE References March 26 2009: Initial Release - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- Solution Type: Sun Alert Solution 254571 : Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with Processing Image Files and Fonts may Allow Privileges to be Escalated Bug ID: 6804996, 6804997, 6804998, 6804999 Product Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) Date of Resolved Release: 24-Mar-2009 SA Document Body Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with processing image files and fonts may allow privileges to be escalated: 1. Impact CR 6804996: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with processing PNG images may allow an untrusted Java Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted application may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application. CR 6804997: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with processing GIF images may allow an untrusted Java Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted application may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted application. CR 6804998: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with processing GIF images may allow an untrusted applet or Java Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted 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. CR 6804999: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment with processing fonts may allow an untrusted applet or Java Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted 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.
