Synopsis: Critical: java-1.6.0-openjdk security update
Issue Date: 2013-02-20
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-0169
CVE-2013-1486
—
An improper permission check issue was discovered in the JMX component in
OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass
Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2013-1486)
It was discovered that OpenJDK leaked timing information when decrypting
TLS/SSL protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used. A
remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from the
encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL server as a padding oracle.
(CVE-2013-0169)
Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the icedtea-web package was
installed, CVE-2013-1486 could have been exploited without user interaction if
a user visited a malicious website.
This erratum also upgrades the OpenJDK package to IcedTea6 1.11.8.
All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update to take
effect.
