Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201603-14 (IcedTea: Multiple vulnerabilities)

 Various OpenJDK attack vectors in IcedTea, such as 2D, Corba, Hotspot, Libraries, and JAXP, exist which allows remote attackers to affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of vulnerable systems. This includes the possibility of remote execution of arbitrary code, information disclosure, or Denial of Service. Many of the vulnerabilities can only be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and java applets. Please reference the CVEs listed for specific details.
 Impact :

 Remote attackers may remotely execute arbitrary code, compromise information, or cause Denial of Service.
 Workaround :

 There is no known work around at this time.
