Debian DLA-530-1 : java-common security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91836

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

As previously announced [1][2], the default Java implementation has been switched from OpenJDK 6 to OpenJDK 7. We strongly recommend to remove the unsupported OpenJDK 6 packages which will receive no further security updates.

[1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2016/05/msg00007.html [2] https://www.debian.org/News/2016/20160425

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.47+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your java-common packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
