CentOS 5 : java-1.6.0-openjdk (CESA-2010:0768)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 50003
Language:
Synopsis
The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates.Description
Updated java-1.6.0-openjdk packages that fix several security issues and two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.
defaultReadObject of the Serialization API could be tricked into setting a volatile field multiple times, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the applet or application. (CVE-2010-3569)
Race condition in the way objects were deserialized could allow an untrusted applet or application to misuse the privileges of the user running the applet or application. (CVE-2010-3568)
Miscalculation in the OpenType font rendering implementation caused out-of-bounds memory access, which could allow remote attackers to execute code with the privileges of the user running the java process.
(CVE-2010-3567)
JPEGImageWriter.writeImage in the imageio API improperly checked certain image metadata, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the applet or application. (CVE-2010-3565)
Double free in IndexColorModel could cause an untrusted applet or application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the applet or application.
(CVE-2010-3562)
The privileged accept method of the ServerSocket class in the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) implementation in OpenJDK allowed it to receive connections from any host, instead of just the host of the current connection. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass restrictions defined by network permissions. (CVE-2010-3561)
Flaws in the Swing library could allow an untrusted application to modify the behavior and state of certain JDK classes. (CVE-2010-3557)
Flaws in the CORBA implementation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code by misusing permissions granted to certain system objects. (CVE-2010-3554)
UIDefault.ProxyLazyValue had unsafe reflection usage, allowing untrusted callers to create objects via ProxyLazyValue values.
(CVE-2010-3553)
HttpURLConnection improperly handled the 'chunked' transfer encoding method, which could allow remote attackers to conduct HTTP response splitting attacks. (CVE-2010-3549)
HttpURLConnection improperly checked whether the calling code was granted the 'allowHttpTrace' permission, allowing untrusted code to create HTTP TRACE requests. (CVE-2010-3574)
HttpURLConnection did not validate request headers set by applets, which could allow remote attackers to trigger actions otherwise restricted to HTTP clients. (CVE-2010-3541, CVE-2010-3573)
The Kerberos implementation improperly checked the sanity of AP-REQ requests, which could cause a denial of service condition in the receiving Java Virtual Machine. (CVE-2010-3564)
The RHSA-2010:0339 update mitigated a man-in-the-middle attack in the way the TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer) protocols handle session renegotiation by disabling renegotiation.
This update implements the TLS Renegotiation Indication Extension as defined in RFC 5746, allowing secure renegotiation between updated clients and servers. (CVE-2009-3555)
The NetworkInterface class improperly checked the network 'connect' permissions for local network addresses, which could allow remote attackers to read local network addresses. (CVE-2010-3551)
Information leak flaw in the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) could allow a remote attacker to access information about otherwise-protected internal network names. (CVE-2010-3548)
Note: Flaws concerning applets in this advisory (CVE-2010-3568, CVE-2010-3554, CVE-2009-3555, CVE-2010-3562, CVE-2010-3557, CVE-2010-3548, CVE-2010-3564, CVE-2010-3565, CVE-2010-3569) can only be triggered in OpenJDK by calling the 'appletviewer' application.
Bug fixes :
* This update provides one defense in depth patch. (BZ#639922)
* Problems for certain SSL connections. In a reported case, this prevented the JBoss JAAS modules from connecting over SSL to Microsoft Active Directory servers. (BZ#618290)
