The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200911-02 (Sun JDK/JRE: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the Sun Java     implementation. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below and     the associated Sun Alerts for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted JAR     archive, applet, or Java Web Start application, possibly resulting in     the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running     the application. Furthermore, a remote attacker could cause a Denial of     Service affecting multiple services via several vectors, disclose     information and memory contents, write or execute local files, conduct     session hijacking attacks via GIFAR files, steal cookies, bypass the     same-origin policy, load untrusted JAR files, establish network     connections to arbitrary hosts and posts via several vectors, modify     the list of supported graphics configurations, bypass HMAC-based     authentication systems, escalate privileges via several vectors and     cause applet code to be executed with older, possibly vulnerable     versions of the JRE.
    NOTE: Some vulnerabilities require a trusted environment, user     interaction, a DNS Man-in-the-Middle or Cross-Site-Scripting attack.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update of java-1_6_0-openjdk fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2009-2670: OpenJDK Untrusted applet System     properties access

The remote Mac OS X host is running a version of Java for Mac OS X 10.5 that is missing Update 5.

The remote version of this software contains several security vulnerabilities, including some that may allow untrusted Java applets to obtain elevated privileges and lead to execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user.

Updated java-1.6.0-sun packages that correct several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras and 5 Supplementary.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Sun 1.6.0 Java release includes the Sun Java 6 Runtime Environment and the Sun Java 6 Software Development Kit.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the Sun Java 6 Runtime Environment and the Sun Java 6 Software Development Kit. These vulnerabilities are summarized on the 'Advance notification of Security Updates for Java SE' page from Sun Microsystems, listed in the References section. (CVE-2009-0217, CVE-2009-2475, CVE-2009-2476, CVE-2009-2625, CVE-2009-2670, CVE-2009-2671, CVE-2009-2672, CVE-2009-2673, CVE-2009-2674, CVE-2009-2675, CVE-2009-2676, CVE-2009-2690)

Users of java-1.6.0-sun should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. All running instances of Sun Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Multiple Java OpenJDK security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed :

The design of the W3C XML Signature Syntax and Processing (XMLDsig) recommendation specifies an HMAC truncation length (HMACOutputLength) but does not require a minimum for its length, which allows attackers to spoof HMAC-based signatures and bypass authentication by specifying a truncation length with a small number of bits (CVE-2009-0217).

The Java Web Start framework does not properly check all application jar files trust and this allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted application, related to NetX (CVE-2009-1896).

Some variables and data structures without the final keyword definition allows context-depend attackers to obtain sensitive information. The target variables and data structures are stated as follow: (1) LayoutQueue, (2) Cursor.predefined, (3) AccessibleResourceBundle.getContents, (4) ImageReaderSpi.STANDARD_INPUT_TYPE, (5) ImageWriterSpi.STANDARD_OUTPUT_TYPE, (6) the imageio plugins, (7) DnsContext.debug, (8) RmfFileReader/StandardMidiFileWriter.types, (9) AbstractSaslImpl.logger, (10) Synth.Region.uiToRegionMap/lowerCaseNameMap, (11) the Introspector class and a cache of BeanInfo, and (12) JAX-WS (CVE-2009-2475).

The Java Management Extensions (JMX) implementation does not properly enforce OpenType checks, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging finalizer resurrection to obtain a reference to a privileged object (CVE-2009-2476).

A flaw in the Xerces2 as used in OpenJDK allows remote attackers to cause denial of service via a malformed XML input (CVE-2009-2625).

The audio system does not prevent access to java.lang.System properties either by untrusted applets and Java Web Start applications, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading these properties (CVE-2009-2670).

A flaw in the SOCKS proxy implementation allows remote attackers to discover the user name of the account that invoked either an untrusted applet or Java Web Start application via unspecified vectors (CVE-2009-2671).

A flaw in the proxy mechanism implementation allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and connect to arbitrary sites via unspecified vectors, related to a declaration that lacks the final keyword (CVE-2009-2673).

An integer overflow in the JPEG images parsing allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via an untrusted Java Web Start application that grants permissions to itself (CVE-2009-2674).

An integer overflow in the unpack200 utility decompression allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges via vectors involving either an untrusted applet or Java Web Start application that grants permissions to itself (CVE-2009-2675).

A flaw in the JDK13Services.getProviders grants full privileges to instances of unspecified object types, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions either via an untrusted applet or application (CVE-2009-2689).

A flaw in the OpenJDK's encoder, grants read access to private variables with unspecified names, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information either via an untrusted applet or application (CVE-2009-2690).

It was discovered that the XML HMAC signature system did not correctly check certain lengths. If an attacker sent a truncated HMAC, it could bypass authentication, leading to potential privilege escalation.
(CVE-2009-0217)

It was discovered that JAR bundles would appear signed if only one element was signed. If a user were tricked into running a malicious Java applet, a remote attacker could exploit this to gain access to private information and potentially run untrusted code.
(CVE-2009-1896)

It was discovered that certain variables could leak information. If a user were tricked into running a malicious Java applet, a remote attacker could exploit this to gain access to private information and potentially run untrusted code. (CVE-2009-2475, CVE-2009-2690)

A flaw was discovered the OpenType checking. If a user were tricked into running a malicious Java applet, a remote attacker could bypass access restrictions. (CVE-2009-2476)

It was discovered that the XML processor did not correctly check recursion. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted XML, the system could crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-2625)

It was discovered that the Java audio subsystem did not correctly validate certain parameters. If a user were tricked into running an untrusted applet, a remote attacker could read system properties.
(CVE-2009-2670)

Multiple flaws were discovered in the proxy subsystem. If a user were tricked into running an untrusted applet, a remote attacker could discover local user names, obtain access to sensitive information, or bypass socket restrictions, leading to a loss of privacy.
(CVE-2009-2671, CVE-2009-2672, CVE-2009-2673)

Flaws were discovered in the handling of JPEG images, Unpack200 archives, and JDK13Services. If a user were tricked into running an untrusted applet, a remote attacker could load a specially crafted file that would bypass local file access protections and run arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2009-2674, CVE-2009-2675, CVE-2009-2676, CVE-2009-2689).
