Security Fix(es):



* An untrusted library search path flaw was found in the JCE component of

OpenJDK. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause a Java

application using JCE to load an attacker-controlled library and hence

escalate their privileges. (CVE-2017-3511)



* It was found that the JAXP component of OpenJDK failed to correctly

enforce parse tree size limits when parsing XML document. An attacker able

to make a Java application parse a specially crafted XML document could

use this flaw to make it consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory.

(CVE-2017-3526)



* It was discovered that the HTTP client implementation in the Networking

component of OpenJDK could cache and re-use an NTLM authenticated

connection in a different security context. A remote attacker could

possibly use this flaw to make a Java application perform HTTP requests

authenticated with credentials of a different user. (CVE-2017-3509)



Note: This update adds support for the "jdk.ntlm.cache" system property

which, when set to false, prevents caching of NTLM connections and

authentications and hence prevents this issue. However, caching remains

enabled by default.



* It was discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK did not allow

users to restrict the set of algorithms allowed for Jar integrity

verification. This flaw could allow an attacker to modify content of the

Jar file that used weak signing key or hash algorithm. (CVE-2017-3539)



Note: This updates extends the fix for CVE-2016-5542 released as part of

the SLSA-2016:2079 erratum to no longer allow the MD5 hash algorithm

during the Jar integrity verification by adding it to the

jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms security property.



* Newline injection flaws were discovered in FTP and SMTP client

implementations in the Networking component in OpenJDK. A remote attacker

could possibly use these flaws to manipulate FTP or SMTP connections

established by a Java application. (CVE-2017-3533, CVE-2017-3544)



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.
