Solution:
Sun JDK users:
Update to "dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.09" or later.
Sun JRE users:
Update to "dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.09" or later.

Update to "dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03" or later.
Blackdown JRE users:

NOTE: No stable and secure Blackdown Java package exists for the SPARC or PPC architectures. The vendor recommends affected users on the PPC architecture to consider to switch to the IBM Java packages ((ibm-jdk-bin and ibm-jre-bin) and affected users on the SPARC architecture to remove the package until a fixed package is available.
