The remote host is missing an update for the 'java' package(s) announced via the SSA:2007-243-01 advisory. Sun has released security advisories pertaining to both the Java Runtime Environment and the Standard Edition Development Kit. Updated versions of both the jre and jdk packages are provided addressing all known flaws in Java(TM) at this time. Slackware repackages Sun's Java(TM) binaries without changing them, so the packages from Slackware 12.0 should work on all glibc based Slackware versions

Updated versions of both the jre and jdk packages are provided

may be more advisories on [link moved to references] describing other
flaws that are patched with this update. Happy hunting!

Slackware repackages Sun's Java(TM) binaries without changing them,
so the packages from Slackware 12.0 should work on all glibc based
Slackware versions.


Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Fri Aug 31 13:33:54 CDT 2007
patches/packages/jre-6u2-i586-1.tgz:
 Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment
 Version 6.0 update 2.
 This update addresses code errors which could possibly be leveraged to
 compromise system security, though we know of no existing exploits.
 This update consists of the official Java(TM) binaries repackaged in
 Slackware's package format, and may be used on any version of Slackware
 that is based on glibc.
 For more information, see:
 [link moved to references]
 (* Security fix *)
 An additional change was made to the script that Slackware uses to
 set environment variables for Java(TM). Now, after the $JAVA_HOME
 variable is set, the next variable settings make use of it, rather
 than hard-coding the path to $JAVA_HOME. This does not fix a bug,
 but is certainly better scripting style. Thanks to Jason Byrne and
 Jean-Christophe Fargette for suggesting this change.
