Updated java-1.7.0-openjdk packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The java-1.7.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 7 Java Software Development Kit.

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the JPEG image format decoder in the AWT component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted JPEG image could cause a Java application to crash or, possibly execute arbitrary code.
An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-0483)

An integer signedness issue was found in the font parsing code in the 2D component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted font file could possibly cause the Java Virtual Machine to execute arbitrary code, allowing an untrusted Java application or applet to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-0494)

It was discovered that the JAXP component in OpenJDK did not properly enforce the totalEntitySizeLimit limit. An attacker able to make a Java application process a specially crafted XML file could use this flaw to make the application consume an excessive amount of memory.
(CVE-2016-0466)

A flaw was found in the way TLS 1.2 could use the MD5 hash function for signing ServerKeyExchange and Client Authentication packets during a TLS handshake. A man-in-the-middle attacker able to force a TLS connection to use the MD5 hash function could use this flaw to conduct collision attacks to impersonate a TLS server or an authenticated TLS client. (CVE-2015-7575)

Multiple flaws were discovered in the Libraries, Networking, and JMX components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
(CVE-2015-4871, CVE-2016-0402, CVE-2016-0448)

Note: This update also disallows the use of the MD5 hash algorithm in the certification path processing. The use of MD5 can be re-enabled by removing MD5 from the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms security property defined in the java.security file.

All users of java-1.7.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

  - CVE-2015-8472: buffer overflow in libpng caused by     improper bounds checking by the png_set_PLTE() and     png_get_PLTE() functions

  - CVE-2016-0402: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the Networking component has no confidentiality impact,     partial integrity impact, and no availability impact

  - CVE-2016-0448: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the JMX component could allow a remote attacker to     obtain sensitive information

  - CVE-2016-0466: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the JAXP component could allow a remote attacker to     cause a denial of service

  - CVE-2016-0475: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the Libraries component has partial confidentiality     impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability     impact

The following bugs were fixed :

  - bsc#960402: resolve package conflicts in devel package

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0 < 6.0.16.20 / 6.1 < 6.1.8.20 / 7.0 < 7.0.9.30 / 7.1 < 7.1.3.30 / 8.0 < 8.0.2.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Oracle January 19 2016 CPU advisory.

  - Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.20.2, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0.2 and     Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.5.2, does not reject MD5 signatures in Server Key Exchange messages in TLS 1.2     Handshake Protocol traffic, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers by     triggering a collision. (CVE-2015-7575)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) png_set_PLTE and (2) png_get_PLTE functions in libpng before 1.0.64,     1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.54, 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.17, 1.5.x before 1.5.24, and 1.6.x before 1.6.19     allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a small bit-depth value in an IHDR (aka image header) chunk in a PNG image. (CVE-2015-8126)

  - Buffer overflow in the png_set_PLTE function in libpng before 1.0.65, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.55,     1.3.x, 1.4.x before 1.4.18, 1.5.x before 1.5.25, and 1.6.x before 1.6.20 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a small bit-depth     value in an IHDR (aka image header) chunk in a PNG image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2015-8126. (CVE-2015-8472)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE and Java SE Embedded components in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91,     and 8u66 and Java SE Embedded 8u65 allows remote attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors related     to Networking. (CVE-2016-0402)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE and Java SE Embedded components in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91,     and 8u66, and Java SE Embedded 8u65 allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality via     vectors related to JMX. (CVE-2016-0448)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, and JRockit components in Oracle Java SE     6u105, 7u91, and 8u66; Java SE Embedded 8u65; and JRockit R28.3.8 allows remote attackers to affect     availability via vectors related to JAXP. (CVE-2016-0466)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, and JRockit components in Oracle Java SE 8u66;
    Java SE Embedded 8u65; and JRockit R28.3.8 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality and integrity     via unknown vectors related to Libraries. (CVE-2016-0475)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91, and 8u66; Java SE Embedded 8u65; and JRockit     R28.3.8 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via vectors related     to AWT. NOTE: the previous information is from the January 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-     party claims that this is a heap-based buffer overflow in the readImage function, which allows remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted image data. (CVE-2016-0483)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE and Java SE Embedded components in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91,     and 8u66 and Java SE Embedded 8u65 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and     availability via unknown vectors related to 2D. (CVE-2016-0494)

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2884-1 advisory.

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to information disclosure, data     integrity, and availability. An attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service, expose     sensitive data over the network, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0483, CVE-2016-0494)

    A vulnerability was discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to data integrity. An attacker could exploit     this to expose sensitive data over the network or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0402)

    It was discovered that OpenJDK 7 incorrectly allowed MD5 to be used for TLS connections. If a remote     attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to expose     sensitive information. (CVE-2015-7575)

    A vulnerability was discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to information disclosure. An attacker could     exploit this to expose sensitive data over the network. (CVE-2016-0448)

    A vulnerability was discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to availability. An attacker could exploit this     to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-0466)

 - AWT
 - JAXP
 - JMX
 - Libraries
