Synopsis
The remote Unix host contains a programming platform that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is prior to 8 Update 101, 7 Update 111, or 6 Update 121. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An unspecified flaw exists in the CORBA subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-3458)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Networking subcomponent that allows a local attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-3485)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the JavaFX subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3498)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the JAXP subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3500)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Install subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3503)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the JAXP subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3508)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Deployment subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3511)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Hotspot subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose potentially sensitive information.
(CVE-2016-3550)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Install subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3552)
- A flaw exists in the Hotspot subcomponent due to improper access to the MethodHandle::invokeBasic() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3587)
- A flaw exists in the Libraries subcomponent within the MethodHandles::dropArguments() function that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3598)
- A flaw exists in the Hotspot subcomponent within the ClassVerifier::ends_in_athrow() function when handling bytecode verification. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-3606)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Libraries subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3610)
Solution
Upgrade to Oracle JDK / JRE 8 Update 101 / 7 Update 111 / 6 Update 121 or later. If necessary, remove any affected versions.
Note that an Extended Support contract with Oracle is needed to obtain JDK / JRE 6 Update 95 or later.
