Ubuntu 8.10 / 9.04 / 9.10 : openjdk-6 vulnerabilities (USN-859-1)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 42817
Synopsis
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
Dan Kaminsky discovered that SSL certificates signed with MD2 could be spoofed given enough time. As a result, an attacker could potentially create a malicious trusted certificate to impersonate another site.This update handles this issue by completely disabling MD2 for certificate validation in OpenJDK. (CVE-2009-2409)
It was discovered that ICC profiles could be identified with '..' pathnames. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, a remote attacker could gain information about a local system.
(CVE-2009-3728)
Peter Vreugdenhil discovered multiple flaws in the processing of graphics in the AWT library. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, a remote attacker could crash the application or run arbitrary code with user privileges.
(CVE-2009-3869, CVE-2009-3871)
Multiple flaws were discovered in JPEG and BMP image handling. If a user were tricked into loading a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application or run arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2009-3873, CVE-2009-3874, CVE-2009-3885)
Coda Hale discovered that HMAC-based signatures were not correctly validated. Remote attackers could bypass certain forms of authentication, granting unexpected access. (CVE-2009-3875)
Multiple flaws were discovered in ASN.1 parsing. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP stream that would exhaust system memory and lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-3876, CVE-2009-3877)
It was discovered that the graphics configuration subsystem did not correctly handle arrays. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash the application or execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
(CVE-2009-3879)
It was discovered that loggers and Swing did not correctly handle certain sensitive objects. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, private information could be leaked to a remote attacker, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2009-3880, CVE-2009-3882, CVE-2009-3883)
It was discovered that the ClassLoader did not correctly handle certain options. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2009-3881)
It was discovered that time zone file loading could be used to determine the existence of files on the local system. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, private information could be leaked to a remote attacker, leading to a loss of privacy.
(CVE-2009-3884).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
