Advisory ID:       SLSA-2016:0778-1
Issue Date:        2016-05-10
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2015-5234
                   CVE-2015-5235
--

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
icedtea-web (1.6.2).

Security Fix(es):

* It was discovered that IcedTea-Web did not properly sanitize applet URLs
when storing applet trust settings. A malicious web page could use this
flaw to inject trust-settings configuration, and cause applets to be
executed without user approval. (CVE-2015-5234)

* It was discovered that IcedTea-Web did not properly determine an
applet's origin when asking the user if the applet should be run. A
malicious page could use this flaw to cause IcedTea-Web to execute the
applet without user approval, or confuse the user into approving applet
execution based on an incorrectly indicated applet origin. (CVE-2015-5235)
