3. Description:

The BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.4.2_16 JRE and SDK contains BEA WebLogic JRockit Virtual Machine 1.4.2_16 and is certified for the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.4.2.

A flaw was found in the Java XSLT processing classes. An untrusted application or applet could cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the JRE. (CVE-2008-1187)

Please note: This vulnerability can only be triggered in java-1.4.2-bea by calling the "appletviewer" application.

All java-1.4.2-bea users should upgrade to this updated package which addresses this vulnerability.

4. Solution:

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