Fedora 10 : java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-9.b14.fc10 (2009-1373)

high Nessus Plugin ID 37881

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This fixes a default security policy, that allowed unsigned applets to access the gnome-java-bridge, allowing a privilege escalation (#474431). There are also several bug fixes included in this update.

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

Solution

Update the affected java-1.6.0-openjdk package.
