Synopsis: Critical: java-1.8.0-openjdk security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:0650-1 Issue Date: 2016-04-20 CVE Numbers: CVE-2016-0686 CVE-2016-0687 CVE-2016-0695 CVE-2016-3425 CVE-2016-3426 CVE-2016-3427 -- Security Fix(es): * Multiple flaws were discovered in the Serialization and Hotspot components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-0686, CVE-2016-0687) * It was discovered that the RMI server implementation in the JMX component in OpenJDK did not restrict which classes can be deserialized when deserializing authentication credentials. A remote, unauthenticated attacker able to connect to a JMX port could possibly use this flaw to trigger deserialization flaws. (CVE-2016-3427) * It was discovered that the JAXP component in OpenJDK failed to properly handle Unicode surrogate pairs used as part of the XML attribute values. Specially crafted XML input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when parsed. (CVE-2016-3425) * It was discovered that the GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) implementation in the JCE component in OpenJDK used a non-constant time comparison when comparing GCM authentication tags. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to determine the value of the authentication tag. (CVE-2016-3426) * It was discovered that the Security component in OpenJDK failed to check the digest algorithm strength when generating DSA signatures. The use of a digest weaker than the key strength could lead to the generation of signatures that were weaker than expected. (CVE-2016-0695) 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. -- SL7 x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-debuginfo-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-accessibility-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-accessibility-debug-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-debug-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-demo-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-demo-debug-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-debug-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-debug-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-src-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-src-debug-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.x86_64.rpm noarch java-1.8.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.noarch.rpm java-1.8.0-openjdk-javadoc-debug-1.8.0.91-0.b14.el7_2.noarch.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
