First published: Wed May 12 2010(Updated: )
The IBM 1.4.2 SR13-FP4 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime<br>Environment and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.<br>This update fixes various vulnerabilities in the IBM Java 2 Runtime<br>Environment and the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit. These<br>vulnerabilities are summarized on the IBM "Security alerts" page listed in<br>the References section. (CVE-2009-3555, CVE-2009-3867, CVE-2009-3869,<br>CVE-2009-3871, CVE-2009-3874, CVE-2009-3875)<br>For the CVE-2009-3555 issue, this update disables renegotiation in the<br>non-default IBM JSSE2 provider for the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE)<br>component. The default JSSE provider is not updated with this fix. Refer to<br>the IBMJSSE2 Provider Reference Guide, linked to in the References, for<br>instructions on how to configure the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment to use<br>the JSSE2 provider by default.<br>When using the JSSE2 provider, unsafe renegotiation can be re-enabled using<br>the com.ibm.jsse2.renegotiate property. Refer to the following<br>Knowledgebase article for details:<br><a href="http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-20491" target="_blank">http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-20491</a> Warning: Do not install these java-1.4.2-ibm packages for SAP alongside the<br>java-1.4.2-ibm packages from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras or<br>Supplementary channels on the Red Hat Network. Doing so could cause your<br>system to fail to update cleanly, among other possible problems.<br>All users of java-1.4.2-ibm for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 for SAP<br>are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain the IBM<br>1.4.2 SR13-FP4 Java release. All running instances of IBM Java must be<br>restarted for this update to take effect.<br>
