Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Java DB). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u191, 7u181 and 8u172. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. While the vulnerability is in Java SE, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE. Note: This vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service. CVE-2018-2938 addresses CVE-2018-1313. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 9.0 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is prior to 10 Update 2, 8 Update 181, 7 Update 191, or 6 Update 201. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to the following components :

 - Concurrency. A difficult to exploit vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE (CVE-2018-2952)

 - Deployment. A difficult to exploit vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE (CVE-2018-2964)

 - JSSE. A difficult to exploit vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE (CVE-2018-2973)

 - Java DB. A difficult to exploit vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. (CVE-2018-2938)

 - JavaFX. A difficult to exploit vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. (CVE-2018-2941)

 - Libraries. An easily exploitable vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. (CVE-2018-2940)

 - Security. A difficult to exploit vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE (CVE-2018-2972)

 - Windows DLL. A difficult to exploit vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE (CVE-2018-2942)

This update for java-1_8_0-openjdk to the jdk8u181 (icedtea 3.9.0) release fixes the following issues :

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2018-2938: Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allowed unauthenticated attacker with network access via     multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of     Java SE (bsc#1101644).

  - CVE-2018-2940: Vulnerability in subcomponent: Libraries.
    Easily exploitable vulnerability allowed unauthenticated     attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks     require human interaction from a person other than the     attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can     result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Java     SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data (bsc#1101645)

  - CVE-2018-2952: Vulnerability in subcomponent:
    Concurrency. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allowed     unauthenticated attacker with network access via     multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE     Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to     cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java     SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit (bsc#1101651)

  - CVE-2018-2973: Vulnerability in subcomponent: JSSE.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allowed     unauthenticated attacker with network access via SSL/TLS     to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     creation, deletion or modification access to critical     data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data     (bsc#1101656)

These non-security issues were fixed :

  - Improve desktop file usage

  - Better Internet address support

  - speculative traps break when classes are redefined

  - sun/security/pkcs11/ec/ReadCertificates.java fails     intermittently

  - Clean up code that saves the previous versions of     redefined classes

  - Prevent SIGSEGV in     ReceiverTypeData::clean_weak_klass_links

  - RedefineClasses() tests fail     assert(((Metadata*)obj)->is_valid()) failed: obj is     valid

  - NMT is not enabled if NMT option is specified after     class path specifiers

  - EndEntityChecker should not process custom extensions     after PKIX validation

  - SupportedDSAParamGen.java failed with timeout

  - Montgomery multiply intrinsic should use correct name

  - When determining the ciphersuite lists, there is no     debug output for disabled suites.

  - sun/security/mscapi/SignedObjectChain.java fails on     Windows

  - On Windows Swing changes keyboard layout on a window     activation

  - IfNode::range_check_trap_proj() should handler dying     subgraph with single if proj

  - Even better Internet address support

  - Newlines in JAXB string values of SOAP-requests are     escaped to ' '

  - TestFlushableGZIPOutputStream failing with     IndexOutOfBoundsException

  - Unable to use JDWP API in JDK 8 to debug JDK 9 VM

  - Hotspot crash on Cassandra 3.11.1 startup with libnuma     2.0.3

  - Performance drop with Java JDK 1.8.0_162-b32

  - Upgrade time-zone data to tzdata2018d

  - Fix potential crash in BufImg_SetupICM

  - JDK 8u181 l10n resource file update

  - Remove debug print statements from RMI fix

  - (tz) Upgrade time-zone data to tzdata2018e

  - ObjectInputStream filterCheck method throws     NullPointerException

  - adjust reflective access checks

  - Fixed builds on s390 (bsc#1106812)
