--

Multiple flaws were discovered in the CORBA, Libraries, RMI,
Serialization, and 2D components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application
or applet could use these flaws to completely bypass Java sandbox
restrictions. (CVE-2015-4835, CVE-2015-4881, CVE-2015-4843, CVE-2015-4883,
CVE-2015-4860, CVE-2015-4805, CVE-2015-4844)

Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the JAXP component in
OpenJDK. A specially crafted XML file could cause a Java application using
JAXP to consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory when parsed.
(CVE-2015-4803, CVE-2015-4893, CVE-2015-4911)

It was discovered that the Security component in OpenJDK failed to
properly check if a certificate satisfied all defined constraints. In
certain cases, this could cause a Java application to accept an X.509
certificate which does not meet requirements of the defined policy.
(CVE-2015-4872)

Multiple flaws were found in the Libraries, 2D, CORBA, JAXP, JGSS, and RMI
components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use
these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2015-4806,
CVE-2015-4840, CVE-2015-4882, CVE-2015-4842, CVE-2015-4734, CVE-2015-4903)

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.

All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update to
take effect.
