The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3473-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Smart Card IO subsystem in OpenJDK did not properly maintain state. An attacker     could use this to specially construct an untrusted Java application or applet to gain access to a smart     card, bypassing sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2017-10274)

    Gaston Traberg discovered that the Serialization component of OpenJDK did not properly limit the amount of     memory allocated when performing deserializations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2017-10281)

    It was discovered that the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) component in OpenJDK did not properly handle     unreferenced objects. An attacker could use this to specially construct an untrusted Java application or     applet that could escape sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2017-10285)

    It was discovered that the HTTPUrlConnection classes in OpenJDK did not properly handle newlines. An     attacker could use this to convince a Java application or applet to inject headers into http requests.
    (CVE-2017-10295)

    Francesco Palmarini, Marco Squarcina, Mauro Tempesta, and Riccardo Focardi discovered that the     Serialization component of OpenJDK did not properly restrict the amount of memory allocated when     deserializing objects from Java Cryptography Extension KeyStore (JCEKS). An attacker could use this to     cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2017-10345)

    It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly perform loader checks when     handling the invokespecial JVM instruction. An attacker could use this to specially construct an untrusted     Java application or applet that could escape sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2017-10346)

    Gaston Traberg discovered that the Serialization component of OpenJDK did not properly limit the amount of     memory allocated when performing deserializations in the SimpleTimeZone class. An attacker could use this     to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2017-10347)

    It was discovered that the Serialization component of OpenJDK did not properly limit the amount of memory     allocated when performing deserializations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2017-10348, CVE-2017-10357)

    It was discovered that the JAXP component in OpenJDK did not properly limit the amount of memory allocated     when performing deserializations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory     exhaustion). (CVE-2017-10349)

    It was discovered that the JAX-WS component in OpenJDK did not properly limit the amount of memory     allocated when performing deserializations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2017-10350)

    It was discovered that the Networking component of OpenJDK did not properly set timeouts on FTP client     actions. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (application hang).
    (CVE-2017-10355)

    Francesco Palmarini, Marco Squarcina, Mauro Tempesta, Riccardo Focardi, and Tobias Ospelt discovered that     the Security component in OpenJDK did not sufficiently protect password-based encryption keys in key     stores. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-10356)

    Jeffrey Altman discovered that the Kerberos client implementation in OpenJDK incorrectly trusted     unauthenticated portions of Kerberos tickets. A remote attacker could use this to impersonate trusted     network services or perform other attacks. (CVE-2017-10388)

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2017-2339:07 advisory.

    * Multiple flaws were discovered in the RMI and Hotspot components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java     application or applet could use these flaws to completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
    (CVE-2017-10285, CVE-2017-10346)
      * It was discovered that the Kerberos client implementation in the Libraries component of OpenJDK used     the sname field from the plain text part rather than encrypted part of the KDC reply message. A man-in-     the-middle attacker could possibly use this flaw to impersonate Kerberos services to Java applications     acting as Kerberos clients. (CVE-2017-10388)
      * It was discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK generated weak password-based encryption keys     used to protect private keys stored in key stores. This made it easier to perform password guessing     attacks to decrypt stored keys if an attacker could gain access to a key store. (CVE-2017-10356)
      * A flaw was found in the Smart Card IO component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet     could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2017-10274)
      * It was found that the FtpClient implementation in the Networking component of OpenJDK did not set     connect and read timeouts by default. A malicious FTP server or a man-in-the-middle attacker could use     this flaw to block execution of a Java application connecting to an FTP server. (CVE-2017-10355)
      * It was found that the HttpURLConnection and HttpsURLConnection classes in the Networking component of     OpenJDK failed to check for newline characters embedded in URLs. An attacker able to make a Java     application perform an HTTP request using an attacker provided URL could possibly inject additional     headers into the request. (CVE-2017-10295)
      * It was discovered that multiple classes in the JAXP, Serialization, Libraries, and JAX-WS components     of OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when creating object instances from the serialized     form. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when     deserialized. (CVE-2017-10349, CVE-2017-10357, CVE-2017-10347, CVE-2017-10281, CVE-2017-10345,     CVE-2017-10348, CVE-2017-10350)     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.
