1. Summary:

Updated java-1.4.2-ibm packages that fix several security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary. This is the last
update of these packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,
which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability
from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary (v. 5) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 5) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

IBM J2SE version 1.4.2 includes the IBM Java Runtime Environment and the
IBM Java Software Development Kit.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the IBM Java Runtime
Environment and the IBM Java Software Development Kit. Detailed
vulnerability descriptions are linked from the IBM Security alerts page,
listed in the References section. (CVE-2012-1531, CVE-2012-3216,
CVE-2012-4820, CVE-2012-4822, CVE-2012-5073, CVE-2012-5079, CVE-2012-5081,

This is the last update of the java-1.4.2-ibm packages in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary. Customers are advised to migrate to later
versions of Java at this time. More current versions of IBM Java SE
continue to be available via the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary
channel. Customers should also consider OpenJDK which is the default Java
development and runtime environment in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In
cases where it is not feasible to move to a later version of supported
Java, customers are advised to contact IBM to evaluate other options.

All users of java-1.4.2-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain the IBM J2SE 1.4.2 SR13-FP14 release. All running
instances of IBM Java must be restarted for this update to take effect

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
