Java patching

hello,
I'm a Solaris admin and I was asked to patch some RHEL servers. I'm having trouble trying to figure out the RHEL java version. Can someone help me?

This what I do in Solaris

Code:

java -version
java version "1.5.0_34"
java(TM) 2 Runtime Envirement, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_34-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_34-b03, mixed mode)

This what I see on RHEL

Code:

java -version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)

Code:

java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
OpenJDK Runtime Envirement (IcedTea6 1.10.6) (rhel-1.25.1.10.6.e15_8-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11 mixed mode)

I went to the RHEL site and looked at this page.
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2010-4454
The issue is the version numbers don't match the layout I get from the command line. I can't figure out if my version has been patched to cover the vulnerability. In Solaris The latest update is 1.5.0_34 & 1.6.0_31 (put out in Feb), I would like to have the RHEL servers patched to the same level.

OS
RHEL 5.x, (5)
RHEL 4.x (1)

Can someone help me understand the versioning RHEL is using.

NAME

       libglpk-java - GNU Linear Programming Kit Java Binding

DESCRIPTION

       The  GNU  Linear  Programming  Kit  (GLPK)  package supplies a solver for large scale linear programming (LP) and mixed integer programming
       (MIP).  The GLPK project is hosted at http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk.

       It has two mailing lists:
       - help-glpk@gnu.org and
       - bug-glpk@gnu.org.

       To subscribe to one of these lists, please, send an empty mail with a Subject: header line of just "subscribe" to the list.

       GLPK provides a library written in C and a standalone solver.  The source code provided at ftp://gnu.ftp.org/gnu/glpk/ contains	the  docu-
       mentation of the library in file doc/glpk.pdf.

       The Java platform provides the Java Native Interface (JNI) to integrate non-Java language libraries into Java applications.

       Project GLPK for Java delivers a Java Binding for GLPK. It is hosted at http://glpk-java.sourceforge.net/.

       To report problems and suggestions concerning GLPK for Java, please, send an email to the author at xypron.glpk@gmx.de.

ARCHITECTURE

       A GLPK for Java application will consist of the following
       - the GLPK library
       - the GLPK for Java JNI library
       - the GLPK for Java class library
       - the application code.

GLPK LIBRARY

       The GLPK library can be compiled from source code. Follow the instructions in file INSTALL provided in the source distribution. Precompiled
       packages are available in many Linux distributions.

       The usual installation path for the library is /usr/local/lib/libglpk.so.  The library has to be in the search path for binaries.

GLPK FOR JAVA JNI LIBRARY

       The GLPK for Java JNI library can be compiled from source code. Follow the instructions in file INSTALL provided in  the  source  distribu-
       tion.

       The  usual installation path for the library is /usr/local/lib/jni/libglpk-java.so.  The library has to be in the search path for binaries.
       Specify the library path upon invocation of the application, e.g.
       java -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/libjni

GLPK FOR JAVA CLASS LIBRARY

       The source code to compile the GLPK for Java class library is provided at http://glpk-java.sourceforge.net.

       The GLPK for Java class library can be compiled from source code. Follow the instructions in file INSTALL provided in the source  distribu-
       tion.  The usual installation path for the library is /usr/local/share/java/glpk-java.jar.

       The library has to be in the CLASSPATH. Specify the classpath upon invocation of the application, e.g.
       java -classpath /usr/local/share/java/glpk-java.jar;.

SEE ALSO

       Further documentation and examples can be found in the documentation path, which defaults to /usr/local/share/doc/libglpk-java.
