Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1877 advisory.

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

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the IBM Java Runtime Environment and the IBM Java Software Development Kit. Detailed vulnerability descriptions are linked from the IBM Security alerts page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2014-3065, CVE-2014-3566, CVE-2014-4288, CVE-2014-6457, CVE-2014-6458, CVE-2014-6492, CVE-2014-6493, CVE-2014-6502, CVE-2014-6503, CVE-2014-6506, CVE-2014-6511, CVE-2014-6512, CVE-2014-6515, CVE-2014-6531, CVE-2014-6532, CVE-2014-6558)

The CVE-2014-6512 issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security.

Note: With this update, the IBM SDK now disables the SSL 3.0 protocol to address the CVE-2014-3566 issue (also known as POODLE). Refer to the IBM article linked to in the References section for additional details about this change and instructions on how to re-enable SSL 3.0 support if needed.

All users of java-1.6.0-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, containing the IBM Java SE 6 SR16-FP2 release. All running instances of IBM 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.
