| Sun and Blackdown both provide implementations of the Java |
| Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE). |

| Both Sun's and Blackdown's JDK and JRE may allow untrusted applets |
| to elevate privileges. |

| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| A remote attacker could embed a malicious Java applet in a web |
| page and entice a victim to view it. This applet can then bypass |
| security restrictions and execute any command or access any file with |
| the rights of the user running the web browser. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There are no known workarounds at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All Sun JDK users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.08"</code> |
| <p> |
| All Sun JRE users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.08"</code> |
| <p> |
| All Blackdown JDK users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.02"</code> |
| <p> |
| All Blackdown JRE users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.02"</code> |
| <p> |
| Note to SPARC users: There is no stable secure Blackdown Java |
| for the SPARC architecture. Affected users should remove the package |
| until a SPARC package is released. |
