The Java Web Start Installer in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17 does not properly use security model permissions when removing installer extensions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by modifying a certain JNLP file to have a URL field that points to an unintended trusted application, aka Bug Id 6872824.

The remote VMware ESX host is missing a security-related patch. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, in the bundled version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

The version of Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the remote host is earlier than 6 Update 17 / 5.0 Update 22 / 1.4.2_24 / 1.3.1_27.  Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

  - The Java update mechanism on non-English versions does     not update the JRE when a new version is available.
    (269868)

  - A command execution vulnerability exists in the Java     runtime environment deployment toolkit. (269869)

  - An issue in the Java web start installer may be     leveraged to allow an untrusted Java web start     application to run as a trusted application. (269870)

  - Multiple buffer and integer overflow vulnerabilities     exist. (270474)

  - A security vulnerability in the JRE with verifying HMAC     digests may allow authentication to be bypassed.
    (270475)

  - Two vulnerabilities in the JRE with decoding DER encoded     data and parsing HTTP headers may separately allow a     remote client to cause the JRE on the server to run out     of memory, resulting in a denial of service. (270476)

  - A directory traversal vulnerability in the     ICC_Profile.getInstance method allows a remote attacker     to determine the existence of local International Color     Consortium (ICC) profile files. (Bug #6631533)

  - A denial of service attack is possible via a BMP file     containing a link to a UNC share pathname for an     International Color Consortium (ICC) profile file.
    (Bug #6632445)

  - Resurrected classloaders can still have children,     which could allow a remote attacker to gain     privileges via unspecified vectors (Bug #6636650)

  - The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) does not properly     restrict the objects that may be sent to loggers, which     allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via     vectors related to the implementation of Component,     KeyboardFocusManager, and DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.
    (Bug #6664512)

  - An unspecified vulnerability in TrueType font parsing     functionality may lead to a denial of service. (Bug     #6815780)

  - The failure to clone arrays returned by the     getConfigurations function could lead to multiple,     unspecified vulnerabilities in the X11 and     Win32GraphicsDevice subsystems. (Bug #6822057)

  - The TimeZone.getTimeZone method can be used by a remote     attacker to determine the existence of local files via     its handling of zoneinfo (aka tz) files. (Bug #6824265)

  - Java Web Start does not properly handle the interaction     between a signed JAR file and a JNLP application or     applet. (Bug #6870531)

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.

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-2009-2409, CVE-2009-3728, CVE-2009-3729, CVE-2009-3865, CVE-2009-3866, CVE-2009-3867, CVE-2009-3868, CVE-2009-3869, CVE-2009-3871, CVE-2009-3872, CVE-2009-3873, CVE-2009-3874, CVE-2009-3875, CVE-2009-3876, CVE-2009-3877, CVE-2009-3879, CVE-2009-3880, CVE-2009-3881, CVE-2009-3882, CVE-2009-3883, CVE-2009-3884, CVE-2009-3886)

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.

The version of Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the remote host is earlier than 6 Update 17 / 5.0 Update 22 / 1.4.2_24 / 1.3.1_27.  Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

  - The Java update mechanism on non-English versions does     not update the JRE when a new version is available.
    (269868)

  - A command execution vulnerability exists in the Java     runtime environment deployment toolkit. (269869)

  - An issue in the Java web start installer may be     leveraged to allow an untrusted Java web start     application to run as a trusted application. (269870)

  - Multiple buffer and integer overflow vulnerabilities.
    (270474)

  - A security vulnerability in the JRE with verifying HMAC     digests may allow authentication to be bypassed.     (270475)

  - Two vulnerabilities in the JRE with decoding DER encoded     data and parsing HTTP headers may separately allow a     remote client to cause the JRE on the server to run out     of memory, resulting in a denial of service. (270476)

  - A directory traversal vulnerability in the     ICC_Profile.getInstance method allows a remote attacker     to determine the existence of local International Color     Consortium (ICC) profile files. (Bug #6631533)

  - A denial of service attack is possible via a BMP file     containing a link to a UNC share pathname for an     International Color Consortium (ICC) profile file.     (Bug #6632445)

  - Resurrected classloaders can still have children,     which could allow a remote attacker to gain     privileges via unspecified vectors. (Bug #6636650)

  - The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) does not properly     restrict the objects that may be sent to loggers, which     allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via     vectors related to the implementation of Component,     KeyboardFocusManager, and DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.     (Bug #6664512)

  - An unspecified vulnerability in TrueType font parsing     functionality may lead to a denial of service. (Bug     #6815780)

  - The failure to clone arrays returned by the     getConfigurations function could lead to multiple,     unspecified vulnerabilities in the X11 and     Win32GraphicsDevice subsystems. (Bug #6822057)

  - The TimeZone.getTimeZone method can be used by a remote     attacker to determine the existence of local files via     its handling of zoneinfo (aka tz) files. (Bug #6824265)

  - Java Web Start does not properly handle the interaction     between a signed JAR file and a JNLP application or     applet. (Bug #6870531)
