This depends on your skills(on various fields) and prerequisites.

Basicaly you have only two(and half) choices
  - to clone and build fixed branch (now only head afaik, but those should go to 1.5 anyway)
     - here you must know how to clone and build and - what is most important :)  - that you know 
that you are using correct itw at teh end of process:)
  - to rebuild your distribution package by supplying new sources - well.. created from cloned 
branch with fix (make dist)-  This may sound complex but is actually the most simple way if you 
understand a bit of packaging.  You just repalce sopurces and bump version. The pacaking engine will 
do the rest and you then simply install package. itw team may help with RPM but knowledge base for 
other distros may be lower.
  - the last one is to get the patch  - from http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web (or 
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea-web-1.5 )  or from distro-pkg-dev eemail-list. And 
patch packages. But this may go wrong, as patch may depend on another patch.

All the building helps are at http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web Feel free to go for it 
:) Personally I would recommend you first option.


Thank you for attempting to verify fix before release!
