=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated java-1.6.0-openjdk packages that fix several security issues and

two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having

important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base

scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each

vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the

OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.

 

defaultReadObject of the Serialization API could be tricked into setting a

volatile field multiple times, which could allow a remote attacker to

execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the applet

or application. (CVE-2010-3569)

 

Race condition in the way objects were deserialized could allow an

untrusted applet or application to misuse the privileges of the user

running the applet or application. (CVE-2010-3568)

 

Miscalculation in the OpenType font rendering implementation caused

out-of-bounds memory access, which could allow remote attackers to execute

code with the privileges of the user running the java process.

(CVE-2010-3567)

 

JPEGImageWriter.writeImage in the imageio API improperly checked certain

image metadata, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary

code in the context of the user running the applet or application.

(CVE-2010-3565)

 

Double free in IndexColorModel could cause an untrusted applet or

application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the

privileges of the user running the applet or application. (CVE-2010-3562)

 

The privileged accept method of the ServerSocket class in the Common Object

Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) implementation in OpenJDK allowed it to

receive connections from any host, instead of just the host of the current

connection. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass restrictions defined

by network permissions. (CVE-2010-3561)

 

Flaws in the Swing library could allow an untrusted application to modify

the behavior and state of certain JDK classes. (CVE-2010-3557)

 

Flaws in the CORBA implementation could allow an attacker to execute

arbitrary code by misusing permissions granted to certain system objects.

(CVE-2010-3554)

 

UIDefault.ProxyLazyValue had unsafe reflection usage, allowing untrusted

callers to create objects via ProxyLazyValue values. (CVE-2010-3553)

 

HttpURLConnection improperly handled the "chunked" transfer encoding

method, which could allow remote attackers to conduct HTTP response

splitting attacks. (CVE-2010-3549)

 

HttpURLConnection improperly checked whether the calling code was granted

the "allowHttpTrace" permission, allowing untrusted code to create HTTP

TRACE requests. (CVE-2010-3574)

 

HttpURLConnection did not validate request headers set by applets, which

could allow remote attackers to trigger actions otherwise restricted to

HTTP clients. (CVE-2010-3541, CVE-2010-3573)

 

The Kerberos implementation improperly checked the sanity of AP-REQ

requests, which could cause a denial of service condition in the receiving

Java Virtual Machine. (CVE-2010-3564)

 

The RHSA-2010:0339 update mitigated a man-in-the-middle attack in the way

the TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer) protocols

handle session renegotiation by disabling renegotiation. This update

implements the TLS Renegotiation Indication Extension as defined in RFC

5746, allowing secure renegotiation between updated clients and servers.

(CVE-2009-3555)

 

The NetworkInterface class improperly checked the network "connect"

permissions for local network addresses, which could allow remote attackers

to read local network addresses. (CVE-2010-3551)

 

Information leak flaw in the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)

could allow a remote attacker to access information about

otherwise-protected internal network names. (CVE-2010-3548)

 

Note: Flaws concerning applets in this advisory (CVE-2010-3568,

CVE-2010-3554, CVE-2009-3555, CVE-2010-3562, CVE-2010-3557, CVE-2010-3548,

CVE-2010-3564, CVE-2010-3565, CVE-2010-3569) can only be triggered in

OpenJDK by calling the "appletviewer" application.

 

Bug fixes:

 

* This update provides one defense in depth patch. (BZ#639922)

 

* Problems for certain SSL connections. In a reported case, this prevented

the JBoss JAAS modules from connecting over SSL to Microsoft Active

Directory servers. (BZ#618290)

 

4. Solution:

 

All java-1.6.0-openjdk users are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which resolve these issues. All running instances of OpenJDK

Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
