Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for java-1.6.0-ibm.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2530 advisory.

IBM Java SE version 6 includes the IBM Java Runtime Environment and the IBM Java Software Development Kit.

This update upgrades IBM Java SE 6 to version 6 SR16-FP50.

Security Fix(es):

* This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in the IBM Java Runtime Environment and the IBM Java Software Development Kit. Further information about these flaws can be found on the IBM Java Security Vulnerabilities page listed in the References section. (CVE-2017-10053, CVE-2017-10067, CVE-2017-10087, CVE-2017-10089, CVE-2017-10096, CVE-2017-10101, CVE-2017-10102, CVE-2017-10105, CVE-2017-10107, CVE-2017-10108, CVE-2017-10109, CVE-2017-10110, CVE-2017-10115, CVE-2017-10116, CVE-2017-10243)

IBM Java SDK and JRE 6 will not receive software updates after September 2017. This date is referred to as the End of Service (EOS) date. Customers are advised to migrate to current versions of IBM Java at this time. IBM Java SDK and JRE versions 7 and 8 are available via the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Supplementary content sets and will continue to receive updates based on IBM's lifecycle policy, linked to in the References section.

Customers can also consider OpenJDK, an open source implementation of the Java SE specification. OpenJDK is available by default on supported hardware architectures.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL java-1.6.0-ibm package based on the guidance in RHSA-2017:2530.
