Problem description

  • service and security update to 1.4.2 sr 7 (Bug #233584) ... fixed bugs among others:
    • "Intermittent HTTPS SocketException: Unexpected end of file"
    • "USA 2007 DST tz change"
    • "Bleichenbacher exploit for RSA Signatures"
    • "Buffer overflow vulnerabilties in JRE"
  • for detailed list of changes between sr4 and sr7 see fixes.html in doc dir
  • added the /usr/share/doc/packages/java-1_4_2-ibm/fixes.html file
  • update to 1.4.2 sr7 (Feature request #301576)
  • update to 1.4.2 sr6 (feature#301576)
  • update to 1.4.2 sr5
  • naming scheme according to ibm naming
  • font.properties.SuSE.tar.gz: * added /usr/share/fonts/truetype to appendedfontpath in font.properties.{zh_CN,zh_HK,zh_TW}.SuSE; not sure if this helps since I think that font.properties.{zh_CN,zh_HK,zh_TW} is read instead; therefore question remains who is responsible to copy .{zh_CN,zh_HK,zh_TW}.SuSE to .{zh_CN,zh_HK,zh_TW} (maybe fonts-config?)
