The IBM 1.6.0 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and
the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way certain strings were
converted to Double objects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause
Java based applications to hang, for example, if they parsed Double values
in a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2010-4476)
All users of java-1.6.0-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, containing the IBM 1.6.0 SR9 Java release. All running instances
of IBM Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.
