VMware Security Advisory - Updated Tomcat and Java JRE packages have been made available for VMWare ESX 3.5. It is not a few updates either. Check out how many CVEs are covered. Judging by the CVE age, their turn around time on patching is quite sad.
bdca972198318dc99cbe922fcffca76537d29df7f9248d8962802a8c0051113fGentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200804-20 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Versions less than 1.6.0.05 are affected.
336ca6a967f2af444479d95fdc1e2091e65e778a9202ae7f90eb7a6d79f45707A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Sun Java Web Start. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page. The specific flaw exists in the useEncodingDecl() function used while parsing the xml header character encoding attribute. When a user downloads a malicious JNLP file, the charset value is read into a static buffer. If an overly charset name in the xml header is included, a stack based buffer overflow occurs, resulting in an exploitable condition.
923797dc1bf1c25338041d37da3558118c195bfff755e485c7aafb315b2b7007A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Sun Java Web Start. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page. The specific flaw exists in the useEncodingDecl() function used while checking xml based JNLP files for UTF8 characters. When a user downloads a malicious JNLP file, the data immediately preceding the opening of the xml tag is read into a static buffer. If an overly long key name in the xml header is included, a stack based buffer overflow occurs, resulting in an exploitable condition.
