Ubuntu 12.10 : openjdk-7 vulnerabilities (USN-1693-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 63609

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

It was discovered that OpenJDK 7's security mechanism could be bypassed via Java applets. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit this to perform arbitrary code execution as the user invoking the program.

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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
