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

 

1. Summary:

 

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

 

Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Beans,

Swing, and JMX components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or

applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

(CVE-2012-5086, CVE-2012-5084, CVE-2012-5089)

 

Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Scripting,

JMX, Concurrency, Libraries, and Security components in OpenJDK. An

untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass

certain Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2012-5068, CVE-2012-5071,

CVE-2012-5069, CVE-2012-5073, CVE-2012-5072)

 

It was discovered that java.util.ServiceLoader could create an instance of

an incompatible class while performing provider lookup. An untrusted Java

application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox

restrictions. (CVE-2012-5079)

 

It was discovered that the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) SSL/TLS

implementation did not properly handle handshake records containing an

overly large data length value. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could

possibly use this flaw to cause an SSL/TLS server to terminate with an

exception. (CVE-2012-5081)

 

It was discovered that the JMX component in OpenJDK could perform certain

actions in an insecure manner. An untrusted Java application or applet

could possibly use this flaw to disclose sensitive information.

(CVE-2012-5075)

 

A bug in the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine optimization code could cause it

to not perform array initialization in certain cases. An untrusted Java

application or applet could use this flaw to disclose portions of the

virtual machine's memory. (CVE-2012-4416)

 

It was discovered that the SecureRandom class did not properly protect

against the creation of multiple seeders. An untrusted Java application or

applet could possibly use this flaw to disclose sensitive information.

(CVE-2012-5077)

 

It was discovered that the java.io.FilePermission class exposed the hash

code of the canonicalized path name. An untrusted Java application or

applet could possibly use this flaw to determine certain system paths, such

as the current working directory. (CVE-2012-3216)

 

This update disables Gopher protocol support in the java.net package by

default. Gopher support can be enabled by setting the newly introduced

property, "jdk.net.registerGopherProtocol", to true. (CVE-2012-5085)

 

This erratum also upgrades the OpenJDK package to IcedTea6 1.10.10. Refer

to the NEWS file, linked to in the References, for further information.

 

All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk 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.

 

4. Solution:

 

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
