—
Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the AWT, CORBA,
JMX, and Libraries components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or
applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
(CVE-2013-0442, CVE-2013-0445, CVE-2013-0441, CVE-2013-1475, CVE-2013-1476,
CVE-2013-0429, CVE-2013-0450, CVE-2013-0425, CVE-2013-0426, CVE-2013-0428)
Multiple flaws were found in the way image parsers in the 2D and AWT components
handled image raster parameters. A specially-crafted image could cause Java
Virtual Machine memory corruption and, possibly, lead to arbitrary code
execution with the virtual machine privileges. (CVE-2013-1478, CVE-2013-1480)
A flaw was found in the AWT component’s clipboard handling code. An untrusted
Java application or applet could use this flaw to access clipboard data,
bypassing Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2013-0432)
The default Java security properties configuration did not restrict access to
certain com.sun.xml.internal packages. An untrusted Java application or applet
could use this flaw to access information, bypassing certain Java sandbox
restrictions. This update lists the whole package as restricted.
(CVE-2013-0435)
Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Libraries,
Networking, and JAXP components. An untrusted Java application or applet could
use these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2013-0427,
CVE-2013-0433, CVE-2013-0434)
It was discovered that the RMI component’s CGIHandler class used user inputs in
error messages without any sanitization. An attacker could use this flaw to
perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. (CVE-2013-0424)
It was discovered that the SSL/TLS implementation in the JSSE component did not
properly enforce handshake message ordering, allowing an unlimited number of
handshake restarts. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make an SSL/TLS
server using JSSE consume an excessive amount of CPU by continuously restarting
the handshake. (CVE-2013-0440)
It was discovered that the JSSE component did not properly validate Diffie-
Hellman public keys. An SSL/TLS client could possibly use this flaw to perform
a small subgroup attack. (CVE-2013-0443)
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.
This erratum also upgrades the OpenJDK package to IcedTea6 1.11.6.
All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update to take
effect.
