The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:0351 advisory.

    IBM Java SE version 8 includes the IBM Java Runtime Environment and the IBM Java Software Development Kit.

    This update upgrades IBM Java SE 8 to version 8 SR5-FP10.

    Security Fix(es):

    * This update fixes multiple 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     Vulnerabilities page listed in the References section. (CVE-2018-2579, CVE-2018-2582, CVE-2018-2588,     CVE-2018-2599, CVE-2018-2602, CVE-2018-2603, CVE-2018-2618, CVE-2018-2633, CVE-2018-2634, CVE-2018-2637,     CVE-2018-2638, CVE-2018-2639, CVE-2018-2641, CVE-2018-2663, CVE-2018-2677, CVE-2018-2678)

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.

Security Fix(es) :

  - A flaw was found in the AWT component of OpenJDK. An     untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw     to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
    (CVE-2018-2641)

  - It was discovered that the LDAPCertStore class in the     JNDI component of OpenJDK failed to securely handle LDAP     referrals. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to     make it fetch attacker controlled certificate data.
    (CVE-2018-2633)

  - The JGSS component of OpenJDK ignores the value of the     javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly property when     using HTTP/SPNEGO authentication and always uses global     credentials. It was discovered that this could cause     global credentials to be unexpectedly used by an     untrusted Java application. (CVE-2018-2634)

  - It was discovered that the JMX component of OpenJDK     failed to properly set the deserialization filter for     the SingleEntryRegistry in certain cases. A remote     attacker could possibly use this flaw to bypass intended     deserialization restrictions. (CVE-2018-2637)

  - It was discovered that the LDAP component of OpenJDK     failed to properly encode special characters in user     names when adding them to an LDAP search query. A remote     attacker could possibly use this flaw to manipulate LDAP     queries performed by the LdapLoginModule class.
    (CVE-2018-2588)

  - It was discovered that the DNS client implementation in     the JNDI component of OpenJDK did not use random source     ports when sending out DNS queries. This could make it     easier for a remote attacker to spoof responses to those     queries. (CVE-2018-2599)

  - It was discovered that the I18n component of OpenJDK     could use an untrusted search path when loading resource     bundle classes. A local attacker could possibly use this     flaw to execute arbitrary code as another local user by     making their Java application load an attacker     controlled class file. (CVE-2018-2602)

  - It was discovered that the Libraries component of     OpenJDK failed to sufficiently limit the amount of     memory allocated when reading DER encoded input. A     remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make a     Java application use an excessive amount of memory if it     parsed attacker supplied DER encoded input.
    (CVE-2018-2603)

  - It was discovered that the key agreement implementations     in the JCE component of OpenJDK did not guarantee     sufficient strength of used keys to adequately protect     generated shared secret. This could make it easier to     break data encryption by attacking key agreement rather     than the encryption using the negotiated secret.
    (CVE-2018-2618)

  - It was discovered that the JGSS component of OpenJDK     failed to properly handle GSS context in the native GSS     library wrapper in certain cases. A remote attacker     could possibly make a Java application using JGSS to use     a previously freed context. (CVE-2018-2629)

  - It was discovered that multiple classes in the     Libraries, AWT, and JNDI components of OpenJDK did not     sufficiently validate input when creating object     instances from the serialized form. A specially crafted     input could cause a Java application to create objects     with an inconsistent state or use an excessive amount of     memory when deserialized. (CVE-2018-2663, CVE-2018-2677,     CVE-2018-2678)

  - It was discovered that multiple encryption key classes     in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not properly     synchronize access to their internal data. This could     possibly cause a multi-threaded Java application to     apply weak encryption to data because of the use of a     key that was zeroed out. (CVE-2018-2579)

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 Important. 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.
