    PACKAGE : sun-jre
    SUMMARY : Java plugin vulnerability
    DATE : 2004-11-26 18:31:00
    ID : CLA-2004:900

    DESCRIPTION
     The sun-jre and related packages have Sun's Java[1] implementation,
     including plugins for internet browsers.
     
     Jouko Pynnonen reported[2], through iDEFENSE, a vulnerability[3] in
     the plugin mechanism which allows remote attackers to bypass the Java
     sandbox through the use of javascript.

    SOLUTION
     It is recommended that all java users upgrade their packages.
     
     IMPORTANT: it is necessary to restart the internet browser after the
     upgrade if it was already running during the upgrade.
     
     Note: the sun-java2-javasrc and sun-java2-demo packages, present in
     our unsupported "extras" repository, have also been updated.
