Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenJDK, an implementation of the Oracle Java platform.

  - CVE-2011-3377     The IcedTea browser plugin included in the openjdk-6     package does not properly enforce the Same Origin Policy     on web content served under a domain name which has a     common suffix with the required domain name.

  - CVE-2011-3563     The Java Sound component did not properly check for     array boundaries. A malicious input or an untrusted Java     application or applet could use this flaw to cause Java     Virtual Machine to crash or disclose portion of its     memory.

  - CVE-2011-5035     The OpenJDK embedded web server did not guard against an     excessive number of a request parameters, leading to a     denial of service vulnerability involving hash     collisions.

  - CVE-2012-0497     It was discovered that Java2D did not properly check     graphics rendering objects before passing them to the     native renderer. This could lead to JVM crash or Java     sandbox bypass.

  - CVE-2012-0501     The ZIP central directory parser used by     java.util.zip.ZipFile entered an infinite recursion in     native code when processing a crafted ZIP file, leading     to a denial of service.

  - CVE-2012-0502     A flaw was found in the AWT KeyboardFocusManager class     that could allow untrusted Java applets to acquire     keyboard focus and possibly steal sensitive information.

  - CVE-2012-0503     The java.util.TimeZone.setDefault() method lacked a     security manager invocation, allowing an untrusted Java     application or applet to set a new default time zone.

  - CVE-2012-0505     The Java serialization code leaked references to     serialization exceptions, possibly leaking critical     objects to untrusted code in Java applets and     applications.

  - CVE-2012-0506     It was discovered that CORBA implementation in Java did     not properly protect repository identifiers (that can be     obtained using _ids() method) on certain Corba objects.
    This could have been used to perform modification of the     data that should have been immutable.

  - CVE-2012-0507     The AtomicReferenceArray class implementation did not     properly check if the array is of an expected Object[]     type. A malicious Java application or applet could use     this flaw to cause Java Virtual Machine to crash or     bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

USN-1263-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenJDK 6. The upstream patch for the chosen plaintext attack on the block-wise AES encryption algorithm (CVE-2011-3389) introduced a regression that caused TLS/SSL connections to fail when using certain algorithms. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Deepak Bhole discovered a flaw in the Same Origin Policy (SOP) implementation in the IcedTea web browser plugin. This could allow a remote attacker to open connections to certain hosts that should not be permitted. (CVE-2011-3377)

Juliano Rizzo and Thai Duong discovered that the block-wise AES encryption algorithm block-wise as used in TLS/SSL was vulnerable to a chosen-plaintext attack. This could allow a remote attacker to view confidential data. (CVE-2011-3389)

It was discovered that a type confusion flaw existed in the in the Internet Inter-Orb Protocol (IIOP) deserialization code. A remote attacker could use this to cause an untrusted application or applet to execute arbitrary code by deserializing malicious input. (CVE-2011-3521)

IcedTea6 prior to 1.10.4 allows remote untrusted Java Web Start applications and untrusted Java applets to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors (CVE-2011-3554).

A flaw was found in the way the SSL 3 and TLS 1.0 protocols used block ciphers in cipher-block chaining (CBC) mode. An attacker able to perform a chosen plain text attack against a connection mixing trusted and untrusted data could use this flaw to recover portions of the trusted data sent over the connection (CVE-2011-3389).

Note: This update mitigates the CVE-2011-3389 issue by splitting the first application data record byte to a separate SSL/TLS protocol record. This mitigation may cause compatibility issues with some SSL/TLS implementations and can be disabled using the jsse.enableCBCProtection boolean property. This can be done on the command line by appending the flag -Djsse.enableCBCProtection=false to the java command.

IcedTea6 prior to 1.10.4 allows remote untrusted Java Web Start applications and untrusted Java applets to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to HotSpot (CVE-2011-3558).

IcedTea6 prior to 1.10.4 allows remote untrusted Java Web Start applications and untrusted Java applets to affect confidentiality and integrity, related to JSSE (CVE-2011-3560).

Deepak Bhole discovered a flaw in the Same Origin Policy (SOP) implementation in the IcedTea project Web browser plugin. A malicious applet could use this flaw to bypass SOP protection and open connections to any sub-domain of the second-level domain of the applet's origin, as well as any sub-domain of the domain that is the suffix of the origin second-level domain. For example, IcedTea-Web plugin allowed applet from some.host.example.com to connect to other.host.example.com, www.example.com, and example.com, as well as www.ample.com or ample.com. (CVE-2011-3377).
