1. Summary:

 

An update for java-1.7.0-openjdk is now available for Red Hat Enterprise

Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

of Critical. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from

the CVE link(s) in the References section.

3. Description:

 

The java-1.7.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime

Environment and the OpenJDK 7 Java Software Development Kit.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* Multiple flaws were discovered in the Serialization and Hotspot

components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use

these flaws to completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-0686,

CVE-2016-0687)

 

* It was discovered that the RMI server implementation in the JMX component

in OpenJDK did not restrict which classes can be deserialized when

deserializing authentication credentials. A remote, unauthenticated

attacker able to connect to a JMX port could possibly use this flaw to

trigger deserialization flaws. (CVE-2016-3427)

 

* It was discovered that the JAXP component in OpenJDK failed to properly

handle Unicode surrogate pairs used as part of the XML attribute values.

Specially crafted XML input could cause a Java application to use an

excessive amount of memory when parsed. (CVE-2016-3425)

 

* It was discovered that the Security component in OpenJDK failed to check

the digest algorithm strength when generating DSA signatures. The use of a

digest weaker than the key strength could lead to the generation of

signatures that were weaker than expected. (CVE-2016-0695)

 

Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the icedtea-web package was

installed, the issues exposed via Java applets could have been exploited

without user interaction if a user visited a malicious website.

 

4. Solution:

 

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes

described in this advisory, refer to:

 

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for this update to

take effect.

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
