Mageia alert MGASA-2012-0130 (java-1.6.0-openjdk)
MGASA-2012-0130 Date: June 27th, 2012 Affected releases: 1, 2 Description: Updated java-1.6.0-openjdk packages fix security vulnerabilities: Multiple flaws were discovered in the CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) implementation in Java. A malicious Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions or modify immutable object data (CVE-2012-1711, CVE-2012-1719). It was discovered that the SynthLookAndFeel class from Swing did not properly prevent access to certain UI elements from outside the current application context. A malicious Java application or applet could use this flaw to crash the Java Virtual Machine, or bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2012-1716). Multiple flaws were discovered in the font manager's layout lookup implementation. A specially-crafted font file could cause the Java Virtual Machine to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the virtual machine (CVE-2012-1713). Multiple flaws were found in the way the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine verified the bytecode of the class file to be executed. A specially-crafted Java application or applet could use these flaws to crash the Java Virtual Machine, or bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2012-1723, CVE-2012-1725). It was discovered that the Java XML parser did not properly handle certain XML documents. An attacker able to make a Java application parse a specially-crafted XML file could use this flaw to make the XML parser enter an infinite loop (CVE-2012-1724). It was discovered that the Java security classes did not properly handle Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL). CRL containing entries with duplicate certificate serial numbers could have been ignored (CVE-2012-1718). It was discovered that various classes of the Java Runtime library could create temporary files with insecure permissions. A local attacker could use this flaw to gain access to the content of such temporary files (CVE-2012-1717). The Mageia 1 package has been updated to IcedTea6-1.10.8, and the Mageia 2 package has been updated to IcedTea6-1.11.3, which are not vulnerable to these issues. Updated Packages: Mageia 1: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-28.b22.1.mga1 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-28.b22.1.mga1 java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo-1.6.0.0-28.b22.1.mga1 java-1.6.0-openjdk-src-1.6.0.0-28.b22.1.mga1 java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.6.0.0-28.b22.1.mga1 Mageia 2: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-33.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-33.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo-1.6.0.0-33.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-src-1.6.0.0-33.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.6.0.0-33.b24.1.mga2 References: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-201... http://blog.fuseyism.com/index.php/2012/06/12/security-ic... http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpu... https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0729.html https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6457 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGASA-2012-...
