CVE-2009-2690 OpenJDK private variable information disclosure (6777487)
A flaw was found in the way the XML Digital Signature implementation in
the JRE handled HMAC-based XML signatures. An attacker could use this
flaw to create a crafted signature that could allow them to bypass
authentication, or trick a user, applet, or application into accepting
untrusted content. (CVE-2009-0217)
Several potential information leaks were found in various mutable static
variables. These could be exploited in application scenarios that
execute untrusted scripting code. (CVE-2009-2475)
It was discovered that OpenType checks can be bypassed. This could allow
a rogue application to bypass access restrictions by acquiring
references to privileged objects through finalizer resurrection.
(CVE-2009-2476)
A denial of service flaw was found in the way the JRE processes XML. A
remote attacker could use this flaw to supply crafted XML that would
lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-2625)
A flaw was found in the JRE audio system. An untrusted applet or
application could use this flaw to gain read access to restricted System
properties. (CVE-2009-2670)
Two flaws were found in the JRE proxy implementation. An untrusted
applet or application could use these flaws to discover the usernames of
users running applets and applications, or obtain web browser cookies
and use them for session hijacking attacks. (CVE-2009-2671, CVE-2009-2672)
An additional flaw was found in the proxy mechanism implementation. This
flaw allowed an untrusted applet or application to bypass access
restrictions and communicate using non-authorized socket or URL
connections to hosts other than the origin host. (CVE-2009-2673)
An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the JRE processes JPEG
images. An untrusted application could use this flaw to extend its
privileges, allowing it to read and write local files, as well as to
execute local applications with the privileges of the user running the
application. (CVE-2009-2674)
An integer overflow flaw was found in the JRE unpack200 functionality.
An untrusted applet or application could extend its privileges, allowing
it to read and write local files, as well as to execute local
applications with the privileges of the user running the applet or
application. (CVE-2009-2675)
It was discovered that JDK13Services grants unnecessary privileges to
certain object types. This could be misused by an untrusted applet or
application to use otherwise restricted functionality. (CVE-2009-2689)
An information disclosure flaw was found in the way private Java
variables were handled. An untrusted applet or application could use
this flaw to obtain information from variables that would otherwise be
private. (CVE-2009-2690)
Note: The flaws concerning applets in this advisory, CVE-2009-2475,
CVE-2009-2670, CVE-2009-2671, CVE-2009-2672, CVE-2009-2673,
CVE-2009-2675, CVE-2009-2689, and CVE-2009-2690, can only be triggered
in java-1.6.0-openjdk by calling the "appletviewer" application.
All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update
to take effect.
