An update for java-1.7.0-openjdk is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The java-1.7.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 7 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es) :

* An untrusted library search path flaw was found in the JCE component of OpenJDK. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause a Java application using JCE to load an attacker-controlled library and hence escalate their privileges. (CVE-2017-3511)

* It was found that the JAXP component of OpenJDK failed to correctly enforce parse tree size limits when parsing XML document. An attacker able to make a Java application parse a specially crafted XML document could use this flaw to make it consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory. (CVE-2017-3526)

* It was discovered that the HTTP client implementation in the Networking component of OpenJDK could cache and re-use an NTLM authenticated connection in a different security context. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make a Java application perform HTTP requests authenticated with credentials of a different user. (CVE-2017-3509)

Note: This update adds support for the 'jdk.ntlm.cache' system property which, when set to false, prevents caching of NTLM connections and authentications and hence prevents this issue.
However, caching remains enabled by default.

* It was discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK did not allow users to restrict the set of algorithms allowed for Jar integrity verification. This flaw could allow an attacker to modify content of the Jar file that used weak signing key or hash algorithm.
(CVE-2017-3539)

Note: This updates extends the fix for CVE-2016-5542 released as part of the RHSA-2016:2658 erratum to no longer allow the MD5 hash algorithm during the Jar integrity verification by adding it to the jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms security property.

* Newline injection flaws were discovered in FTP and SMTP client implementations in the Networking component in OpenJDK. A remote attacker could possibly use these flaws to manipulate FTP or SMTP connections established by a Java application. (CVE-2017-3533, CVE-2017-3544)

Note that Tenable Network Security has attempted to extract the preceding description block directly from the corresponding Red Hat security advisory. Virtuozzo provides no description for VZLSA advisories. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An update for java-1.8.0-openjdk is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The java-1.8.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 8 Java Software Development Kit.

* Newline injection flaws were discovered in FTP and SMTP client implementations in the Networking component in OpenJDK. A remote attacker could possibly use these flaws to manipulate FTP or SMTP connections established by a Java application. (CVE-2017-3533, CVE-2017-3544)

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.

Bug Fix(es) :

* When a method is called using the Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) 'invokeMethod' command in a target Java virtual machine, JDWP creates global references for every Object that is implied in the method invocation, as well as for the returned argument of the reference type. Previously, the global references created for such arguments were not collected (deallocated) by the garbage collector after 'invokeMethod' finished. This consequently caused memory leaks, and because references to such objects were never released, the debugged application could be terminated with an Out of Memory error. This bug has been fixed, and the described problem no longer occurs.

The version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0 < 6.0.16.45 / 6.1 < 6.1.8.45 / 7.0 < 7.0.10.5 / 7.1 < 7.1.4.5 / 8.0 < 8.0.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Oracle April 18 2017 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Networking).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u141, 7u131 and 8u121; Java SE Embedded: 8u121.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple     protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a     person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data as well as     unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This     vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the     internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java     deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an     administrator). (CVE-2017-3509)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JCE).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u131 and 8u121; Java SE Embedded: 8u121; JRockit:
    R28.3.13. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the     infrastructure where Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit executes to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded,     JRockit. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the     vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit, attacks may significantly impact additional     products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE, Java SE Embedded,     JRockit. Note: Applies to client and server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited     through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by     supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or     sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web service. (CVE-2017-3511)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: AWT). Supported versions that are     affected are Java SE: 7u131 and 8u121. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker     with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks require human     interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, attacks may     significantly impact additional products.

  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, gain access to information, or cause a Denial       of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
