The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:0098 advisory.

    IBM Java SE version 8 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. Further information     about these flaws can be found on the IBM Java Security alerts page, listed     in the References section. (CVE-2015-5041, CVE-2015-7575, CVE-2015-8126,     CVE-2015-8472, CVE-2016-0402, CVE-2016-0448, CVE-2016-0466, CVE-2016-0475,     CVE-2016-0483, CVE-2016-0494)

    Note: This update also disallows the use of the MD5 hash algorithm in the     certification path processing. The use of MD5 can be re-enabled by removing     MD5 from the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms security property defined in     the java.security file.

    All users of java-1.8.0-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages, containing the IBM Java SE 8 SR2-FP10 release. All running     instances of IBM Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

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 version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0 < 6.0.16.20 / 6.1 < 6.1.8.20 / 7.0 < 7.0.9.30 / 7.1 < 7.1.3.30 / 8.0 < 8.0.2.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IBM Security Update January 2016 advisory.

  - The J9 JVM in IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition 6 before SR16 FP20, 6 R1 before SR8 FP20, 7 before SR9     FP30, and 7 R1 before SR3 FP30 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or inject data by     invoking non-public interface methods. (CVE-2015-5041)

  - The png_convert_to_rfc1123 function in png.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.64, 1.2.x before 1.2.54, and 1.4.x     before 1.4.17 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive process memory information via crafted tIME     chunk data in an image file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2015-7981)

  - Integer underflow in the png_check_keyword function in pngwutil.c in libpng 0.90 through 0.99, 1.0.x     before 1.0.66, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.56, 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.19, and 1.5.x before 1.5.26     allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a space character as a keyword in a PNG image,     which triggers an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2015-8540)

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

This update for java-1_6_0-ibm fixes the following issues by updating to 6.0-16.20 (bsc#963937)

  - CVE-2015-5041: Could could have invoked non-public     interface methods under certain circumstances

  - CVE-2015-7575: The TLS protocol could allow weaker than     expected security caused by a collision attack when     using the MD5 hash function for signing a     ServerKeyExchange message during a TLS handshake. An     attacker could exploit this vulnerability using     man-in-the-middle techniques to impersonate a TLS server     and obtain credentials

  - CVE-2015-7981: libpng could allow a remote attacker to     obtain sensitive information, caused by an out-of-bounds     read in the png_convert_to_rfc1123 function. An attacker     could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive     information

  - CVE-2015-8126: buffer overflow in libpng caused by     improper bounds checking by the png_set_PLTE() and     png_get_PLTE() functions

  - CVE-2015-8472: buffer overflow in libpng caused by     improper bounds checking by the png_set_PLTE() and     png_get_PLTE() functions

  - CVE-2015-8540: libpng is vulnerable to a buffer     overflow, caused by a read underflow in     png_check_keyword in pngwutil.c. By sending an overly     long argument, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer     and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the     application to crash.

  - CVE-2016-0402: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the Networking component has no confidentiality impact,     partial integrity impact, and no availability impact

  - CVE-2016-0448: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the JMX component could allow a remote attacker to     obtain sensitive information

  - CVE-2016-0466: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the JAXP component could allow a remote attacker to     cause a denial of service

  - CVE-2016-0483: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the AWT component has complete confidentiality impact,     complete integrity impact, and complete availability     impact

  - CVE-2016-0494: An unspecified vulnerability related to     the 2D component has complete confidentiality impact,     complete integrity impact, and complete availability     impact

The following bugs were fixed :

  - bsc#960402: resolve package conflicts in devel package

  - bsc#960286: resolve package conflicts in the fonts     subpackage

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
