| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to openjdk-6
announced via advisory DSA 2224-1.
Vulnerability Insight:
Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in OpenJDK, an
implementation of the Java platform.
CVE-2010-4351
The JNLP SecurityManager returns from the checkPermission method
instead of throwing an exception in certain circumstances, which
might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the intended
security policy by creating instances of ClassLoader.
CVE-2010-4448
Malicious applets can perform DNS cache poisoning.
CVE-2010-4450
An empty (but set) LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable results in
a misconstructed library search path, resulting in code execution
from possibly untrusted sources.
CVE-2010-4465
Malicious applets can extend their privileges by abusing Swing
timers.
CVE-2010-4469
The Hotspot just-in-time compiler miscompiles crafted byte
sequences, resulting in heap corruption.
CVE-2010-4470
JAXP can be exploited by untrusted code to elevate privileges.
CVE-2010-4471
Java2D can be exploited by untrusted code to elevate privileges.
CVE-2010-4472
Untrusted code can replace the XML DSIG implementation.
CVE-2011-0025
Signatures on JAR files are not properly verified, which allows
remote attackers to trick users into executing code that appears
to come from a trusted source.
CVE-2011-0706
The JNLPClassLoader class allows remote attackers to gain
privileges via unknown vectors related to multiple signers and the
assignment of an inappropriate security descriptor
In addition, this security update contains stability fixes, such as
switching to the recommended Hotspot version (hs14) for this
particular version of OpenJDK.
For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 6b18-1.8.7-2~
lenny1.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 6b18-1.8.7-2~
squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.7-1.
Solution:
We recommend that you upgrade your openjdk-6 packages.
