Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for Red Hat Network Satellite server IBM Java Runtime.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0982 advisory.

This update corrects several security vulnerabilities in the IBM Java Runtime Environment shipped as part of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6. In a typical operating environment, these are of low security risk as the runtime is not used on untrusted applets.

Several flaws were fixed in the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment.
(CVE-2013-5878, CVE-2013-5884, CVE-2013-5887, CVE-2013-5888, CVE-2013-5889, CVE-2013-5896, CVE-2013-5898, CVE-2013-5899, CVE-2013-5907, CVE-2013-5910, CVE-2013-6629, CVE-2013-6954, CVE-2014-0368, CVE-2014-0373, CVE-2014-0375, CVE-2014-0376, CVE-2014-0387, CVE-2014-0403, CVE-2014-0410, CVE-2014-0411, CVE-2014-0415, CVE-2014-0416, CVE-2014-0417, CVE-2014-0422, CVE-2014-0423, CVE-2014-0424, CVE-2014-0428, CVE-2014-0429, CVE-2014-0446, CVE-2014-0449, CVE-2014-0451, CVE-2014-0452, CVE-2014-0453, CVE-2014-0457, CVE-2014-0458, CVE-2014-0460, CVE-2014-0461, CVE-2014-0878, CVE-2014-1876, CVE-2014-2398, CVE-2014-2401, CVE-2014-2409, CVE-2014-2412, CVE-2014-2414, CVE-2014-2420, CVE-2014-2421, CVE-2014-2423, CVE-2014-2427, CVE-2014-2428)

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain the IBM Java SE 6 SR16 release. For this update to take effect, Red Hat Network Satellite Server must be restarted (/usr/sbin/rhn-satellite restart), as well as all running instances of IBM Java.

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 Red Hat Network Satellite server IBM Java Runtime package based on the guidance in RHSA-2014:0982.
