high Nessus Plugin ID 77387

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2319-2 advisory.

 USN-2319-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenJDK 7. Due to an upstream regression, verifying of the init method call would fail when it was done from inside a branch when stack frames are activated. This update fixes the problem.

 We apologize for the inconvenience.



Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
