Synopsis: Critical: java-1.7.0-openjdk security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:0675-1 Issue Date: 2016-04-21 CVE Numbers: CVE-2016-0686 CVE-2016-0687 CVE-2016-0695 CVE-2016-3425 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 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. -- SL6 x86_64 java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.x86_64.rpm java-1.7.0-openjdk-debuginfo-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.x86_64.rpm java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.x86_64.rpm java-1.7.0-openjdk-demo-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.x86_64.rpm java-1.7.0-openjdk-src-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.x86_64.rpm i386 java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.i686.rpm java-1.7.0-openjdk-debuginfo-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.i686.rpm java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.i686.rpm java-1.7.0-openjdk-demo-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.i686.rpm java-1.7.0-openjdk-src-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.i686.rpm noarch java-1.7.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.el6_7.noarch.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
