Oracle Java SE Multiple Vulnerabilities (October 2016 CPU) (Unix)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 94139

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Unix host contains a programming platform that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is prior to 8 Update 111, 7 Update 121, or 6 Update 131. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Libraries subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-5542)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the JMX subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-5554)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the 2D subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5556)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the AWT subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5568)

 - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Hotspot subcomponent that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5573, CVE-2016-5582)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Networking subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
 (CVE-2016-5597)

Solution

Upgrade to Oracle JDK / JRE 8 Update 111 / 7 Update 121 / 6 Update 131 or later. If necessary, remove any affected versions.

Note that an Extended Support contract with Oracle is needed to obtain JDK / JRE 6 Update 95 or later.
