Further information is available in the 1.4.2_09 section of Sun's release notes at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/ReleaseNotes.html Credit to Sun and Marc Schoenefeld for notifying us about these issues. Java CVE-ID: CAN-2005-2527 Available for: Java 1.4.2 Impact: A file race condition can lead to file corruption or the creation of arbitrary files Description: This is specific to the implementation of Java on Mac OS X. Under certain conditions, Java may insecurely handle a temporary directory. Subsequent file operations inside that directory could be exposed to file race conditions. This update addresses the problem by adding validation when operating in the temporary directory. Java CVE-ID: CAN-2005-2528 Available for: Java 1.3.1, Java 1.4.2 Impact: Insecure temporary file handling can lead to file corruption or the creation of arbitrary files Description: This is specific to the implementation of Java on Mac OS X. The privileged helper used to update Java shared archives insecurely creates temporary files, which can lead to a file race condition. This update addresses the issue by avoiding file operations in user-accessible locations. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4.

Java CVE-ID: CAN-2005-2529 Available for: Java 1.4.2 Impact: Malicious system users can gain elevated privileges Description: This is specific to the implementation of Java on Mac OS X. The utility used to update Java shared archives is susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability from local system users. This update addresses the issue by performing additional clean-up before launching the utility on behalf of unprivileged users. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4.
