Security Bulletin: IBM Content Collector affected by vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK

Abstract

The IBM Content Collector is shipped with an IBM Java SDK and an embedded IBM WebSphere Application Server that also includes an IBM Java SDK. These IBM Java SDKs are based on the Oracle SDK. In February 2013, Oracle has released critical patch updates (CPU) that contain security vulnerability fixes. The IBM JDKs that Content Collector Server ships are affected.
