Debian DSA-2420-1 : openjdk-6 - several vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 58148

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

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.

Solution

Upgrade the openjdk-6 packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 6b18-1.8.13-0+squeeze1.
