Debian DLA-346-1 : openjdk-6 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 87056

Language:

New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenJDK, an implementation of the Oracle Java platform. These vulnerabilities relate to execution of arbitrary code, breakouts of the Java sandbox, information disclosure and denial of service.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', these problems have been fixed in openjdk-6 version 6b37-1.13.9-1~deb6u1.

We recommend you to upgrade your openjdk-6 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.
