Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update fixes two vulnerabilities in the Sun Java 6 Runtime Environment and the Sun Java 6 Software Development Kit. Further information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Security Alert page listed in the References section. (CVE-2010-0886, CVE-2010-0887)
