Synopsis
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
USN-1804-1 fixed vulnerabilities in IcedTea-Web. This update introduced a regression with the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) when fetching content over SSL under certain configurations, such as when using the community-supported IcedTead 7 browser plugin.This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Jiri Vanek discovered that IcedTea-Web would use the same classloader for applets from different domains. A remote attacker could exploit this to expose sensitive information or potentially manipulate applets from other domains. (CVE-2013-1926)
It was discovered that IcedTea-Web did not properly verify JAR files and was susceptible to the GIFAR attack. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious website, a remote attacker could potentially exploit this to execute code under certain circumstances. (CVE-2013-1927).
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 icedtea-7-plugin and / or icedtea-netx packages.See Also
