Synopsis: Moderate: icedtea-web security update
Issue Date: 2011-11-08
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-3377
—
The IcedTea-Web project provides a Java web browser plug-in and an
implementation of Java Web Start, which is based on the Netx project. It
also contains a configuration tool for managing deployment settings for the
plug-in and Web Start implementations.
A flaw was found in the same-origin policy implementation in the
IcedTea-Web browser plug-in. A malicious Java applet could use this flaw to
open network connections to hosts other than the originating host,
violating the same-origin policy. (CVE-2011-3377)
All IcedTea-Web users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
upgrade IcedTea-Web to version 1.0.6 to correct this issue. Web browsers
using the IcedTea-Web browser plug-in must be restarted for this update to
take effect.
