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.

2. Contributing Factors

The issues described in CR 6804996 and CR 6804997 can occur in the
following Java SE and Java SE for Business releases for Windows,
Solaris, and Linux:
     * JDK and JRE 6 Update 12 and earlier

Note: JDK and JRE 5.0, SDK and JRE 1.4.2 and 1.3.1 are not affected.
The issue described in CR 6804998 can occur in the following Java SE
and Java SE for Business releases for Windows, Solaris, and Linux:
     * JDK and JRE 6 Update 12 and earlier
     * JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 17 and earlier

and in the following Java SE for Business release for Windows,
Solaris, and Linux:
     * SDK and JRE 1.4.2_19 and earlier

and in the following Java SE release for Windows and Solaris:
     * SDK and JRE 1.3.1_24 and earlier

The issue described in CR 6804999 can occur in the following Java SE
and Java SE for Business releases for Windows, Solaris, and Linux:
     * JDK and JRE 6 Update 12 and earlier
     * JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 17 and earlier

Note: SDK and JRE 1.4.2 and 1.3.1 are not affected by this issue.
To determine the default version of the JRE that Internet Explorer
uses, visit the URL:
     * http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1

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 SE 6 U11

In this example, the version of the JRE that the browser uses is SE 6
U11.
