Updated java-1.7.1-ibm packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 Supplementary.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

IBM Java SE version 7 Release 1 includes the IBM Java Runtime Environment and the IBM Java Software Development Kit.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the IBM Java Runtime Environment and the IBM Java Software Development Kit. Detailed vulnerability descriptions are linked from the IBM Security alerts page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2014-6549, CVE-2014-6585, CVE-2014-6587, CVE-2014-6591, CVE-2014-6593, CVE-2014-8891, CVE-2014-8892, CVE-2015-0403, CVE-2015-0406, CVE-2015-0407, CVE-2015-0408, CVE-2015-0410, CVE-2015-0412)

All users of java-1.7.1-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, containing the IBM Java SE 7R1 SR2-FP10 release. All running instances of IBM Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:0264 advisory.

    This update corrects several security vulnerabilities in the IBM Java     Runtime Environment shipped as part of Red Hat Satellite 5.6. In a typical     operating environment, these are of low security risk as the runtime is not     used on untrusted applets.

    Several flaws were fixed in the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment.
    (CVE-2014-3065, CVE-2014-3068, CVE-2014-3566, CVE-2014-4209, CVE-2014-4218,     CVE-2014-4219, CVE-2014-4227, CVE-2014-4244, CVE-2014-4252, CVE-2014-4262,     CVE-2014-4263, CVE-2014-4265, CVE-2014-4288, CVE-2014-6457, CVE-2014-6458,     CVE-2014-6492, CVE-2014-6493, CVE-2014-6502, CVE-2014-6503, CVE-2014-6506,     CVE-2014-6511, CVE-2014-6512, CVE-2014-6515, CVE-2014-6531, CVE-2014-6532,     CVE-2014-6558, CVE-2014-6585, CVE-2014-6587, CVE-2014-6591, CVE-2014-6593,     CVE-2014-8891, CVE-2014-8892, CVE-2015-0395, CVE-2015-0403, CVE-2015-0406,     CVE-2015-0407, CVE-2015-0408, CVE-2015-0410, CVE-2015-0412)

    The CVE-2014-4262 and CVE-2014-6512 issues were discovered by Florian     Weimer of Red Hat Product Security.

    Users of Red Hat Satellite 5.6 are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages, which contain the IBM Java SE 6 SR16-FP3 release. For this     update to take effect, Red Hat Satellite must be restarted     (/usr/sbin/rhn-satellite restart), as well as all running instances of     IBM Java.

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.

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0 prior to Fix Pack 37. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A man-in-the-middle (MitM) information disclosure     vulnerability known as POODLE. The vulnerability is due     to the way SSL 3.0 handles padding bytes when decrypting     messages encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block     chaining (CBC) mode. MitM attackers can decrypt a     selected byte of a cipher text in as few as 256 tries if     they are able to force a victim application to     repeatedly send the same data over newly created SSL 3.0     connections. (CVE-2014-3566 / PI27101)

  - An input validation error exists related to session     input using URL rewriting that can allow cross-site     scripting attacks. (CVE-2014-6167 / PI23819)

  - An error exists related to the administrative console     that can allow 'click-jacking' attacks.
    (CVE-2014-6174 / PI27152)

  - Multiple errors exist in the bundled IBM Java SDK. These     errors are corrected by the October 2014 IBM Java SDK     updates. (CVE-2014-6457, CVE-2014-6512, CVE-2014-6558 /     PI27101)

  - Multiple errors exist in the bundled IBM Java SDK. These     errors are corrected by the January 2015 IBM Java SDK     updates. (CVE-2014-6593, CVE-2015-0400, CVE-2015-0410) /     PI33407

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in java-1.8.0-openjdk :

Multiple flaws were found in the way the Hotspot component in OpenJDK verified bytecode from the class files, and in the way this component generated code for bytecode. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-6601, CVE-2015-0437).

Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the JAX-WS, Libraries, and RMI components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0412, CVE-2014-6549, CVE-2015-0408).

A flaw was found in the way the Hotspot garbage collector handled phantom references. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to corrupt the Java Virtual Machine memory and, possibly, execute arbitrary code, bypassing Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0395).

A flaw was found in the way the DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) decoder in the Security component in OpenJDK handled negative length values. A specially crafted, DER-encoded input could cause a Java application to enter an infinite loop when decoded (CVE-2015-0410).

A flaw was found in the way the SSL 3.0 protocol handled padding bytes when decrypting messages that were encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode. This flaw could possibly allow a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacker to decrypt portions of the cipher text using a padding oracle attack (CVE-2014-3566).

Note: This update disables SSL 3.0 by default to address this issue.
The jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property can be used to re-enable SSL 3.0 support if needed. For additional information, refer to the Red Hat Bugzilla bug linked to in the References section.

It was discovered that the SSL/TLS implementation in the JSSE component in OpenJDK failed to properly check whether the ChangeCipherSpec was received during the SSL/TLS connection handshake.
An MITM attacker could possibly use this flaw to force a connection to be established without encryption being enabled (CVE-2014-6593).

An information leak flaw was found in the Swing component in OpenJDK.
An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0407).

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the MulticastSocket implementation in the Libraries component of OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-6587).

Multiple boundary check flaws were found in the font parsing code in the 2D component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted font file could allow an untrusted Java application or applet to disclose portions of the Java Virtual Machine memory (CVE-2014-6585, CVE-2014-6591).

Multiple insecure temporary file use issues were found in the way the Hotspot component in OpenJDK created performance statistics and error log files. A local attacker could possibly make a victim using OpenJDK overwrite arbitrary files using a symlink attack (CVE-2015-0383).

The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.

The version of VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager installed on the remote host is affected by a man-in-the-middle (MitM) information disclosure vulnerability known as POODLE. The vulnerability is due to the way SSL 3.0 handles padding bytes when decrypting messages encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode.
MitM attackers can decrypt a selected byte of a cipher text in as few as 256 tries if they are able to force a victim application to repeatedly send the same data over newly created SSL 3.0 connections.
