IBM Java 1.6.0 has been updated to SR14 to fix bugs and security issues

Please see also http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/alerts/

Also the following bug has been fixed :

  - add Europe/Busingen to tzmappings. (bnc#817062)

  - mark files in jre/bin and bin/ as executable     (bnc#823034)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:0957 advisory.

    These packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime Environment and the     OpenJDK 7 Software Development Kit.

    Multiple flaws were discovered in the ImagingLib and the image attribute,     channel, layout and raster processing in the 2D component. An untrusted     Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to trigger Java     Virtual Machine memory corruption. (CVE-2013-2470, CVE-2013-2471,     CVE-2013-2472, CVE-2013-2473, CVE-2013-2463, CVE-2013-2465, CVE-2013-2469)

    Integer overflow flaws were found in the way AWT processed certain input.
    An attacker could use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with the     privileges of the user running an untrusted Java applet or application.
    (CVE-2013-2459)

    Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Sound,     JDBC, Libraries, JMX, and Serviceability components in OpenJDK. An     untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java     sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2013-2448, CVE-2013-2454, CVE-2013-2458,     CVE-2013-2457, CVE-2013-2453, CVE-2013-2460)

    Multiple flaws in the Serialization, Networking, Libraries and CORBA     components can be exploited by an untrusted Java application or applet to     gain access to potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2013-2456,     CVE-2013-2447, CVE-2013-2455, CVE-2013-2452, CVE-2013-2443, CVE-2013-2446)

    It was discovered that the Hotspot component did not properly handle     out-of-memory errors. An untrusted Java application or applet could     possibly use these flaws to terminate the Java Virtual Machine.
    (CVE-2013-2445)

    It was discovered that the AWT component did not properly manage certain     resources and that the ObjectStreamClass of the Serialization component     did not properly handle circular references. An untrusted Java application     or applet could possibly use these flaws to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2013-2444, CVE-2013-2450)

    It was discovered that the Libraries component contained certain errors     related to XML security and the class loader. A remote attacker could     possibly exploit these flaws to bypass intended security mechanisms or     disclose potentially sensitive information and cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2013-2407, CVE-2013-2461)

    It was discovered that JConsole did not properly inform the user when     establishing an SSL connection failed. An attacker could exploit this flaw     to gain access to potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2013-2412)

    It was discovered that GnomeFileTypeDetector did not check for read     permissions when accessing files. An untrusted Java application or applet     could possibly use this flaw to disclose potentially sensitive information.
    (CVE-2013-2449)

    It was found that documentation generated by Javadoc was vulnerable to a     frame injection attack. If such documentation was accessible over a     network, and a remote attacker could trick a user into visiting a     specially-crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web content being     displayed next to the documentation. This could be used to perform a     phishing attack by providing frame content that spoofed a login form on     the site hosting the vulnerable documentation. (CVE-2013-1571)

    It was discovered that the 2D component created shared memory segments with     insecure permissions. A local attacker could use this flaw to read or write     to the shared memory segment. (CVE-2013-1500)

    Red Hat would like to thank Tim Brown for reporting CVE-2013-1500, and     US-CERT for reporting CVE-2013-1571. US-CERT acknowledges Oracle as the     original reporter of CVE-2013-1571.

    Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the icedtea-web package was     installed, the issues exposed via Java applets could have been exploited     without user interaction if a user visited a malicious website.

    After installing this update, users of icedtea-web must install     RHBA-2013:0959 for icedtea-web to continue functioning.

    This erratum also upgrades the OpenJDK package to IcedTea7 2.3.10. Refer to     the NEWS file, linked to in the References, for further information.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
