Bug Fixes from Sun, Research in Motion

Posted by Kara Reeder Nov 4, 2009 9:28:16 AM

Sun Microsystems addresses multiple vulnerabilities with its Java 6 Update 17, reports The H Security. The bugs include various buffer and integer overflows caused by crafted audio and image files, as well as a flaw in the Java Runtime Environment Deployment Toolkit that allows Web sites to inject and execute code.

 

Some of the bugs also can be found in Java versions 5.0, 1.4.x and 1.3.x, which have already exceeded their end of life. Sun recommends that all users make the move to version 6 to continue to receive security updates.

 

In a similar story, PCWorld.com reports that Research in Motion is updating its BlackBerry Desktop Software to address a vulnerability in a Lotus Notes DLL that is included by default. RIM says the bug could be used to run unauthorized software on a victim's PC.
