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

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the Oracle Java Runtime Environment and the Oracle Java Software Development Kit. Further information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory and Oracle Security Alert pages, listed in the References section. (CVE-2012-0547, CVE-2012-1531, CVE-2012-1532, CVE-2012-1533, CVE-2012-3143, CVE-2012-3159, CVE-2012-3216, CVE-2012-4416, CVE-2012-5068, CVE-2012-5069, CVE-2012-5071, CVE-2012-5072, CVE-2012-5073, CVE-2012-5075, CVE-2012-5077, CVE-2012-5079, CVE-2012-5081, CVE-2012-5083, CVE-2012-5084, CVE-2012-5085, CVE-2012-5086, CVE-2012-5089)

All users of java-1.6.0-sun are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which provide Oracle Java 6 Update 37. All running instances of Oracle Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

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-sun package based on the guidance in RHSA-2012:1392.
