Gentoo: GLSA-201603-14: IcedTea: Multiple vulnerabilities
Summary
Various OpenJDK attack vectors in IcedTea, such as 2D, Corba, Hotspot, Libraries, and JAXP, exist which allows remote attackers to affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of vulnerable systems. This includes the possibility of remote execution of arbitrary code, information disclosure, or Denial of Service. Many of the vulnerabilities can only be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and java applets. Please reference the CVEs listed for specific details.
Resolution
IcedTea 7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-7.2.6.4"
IcedTea bin 7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.4"
IcedTea 6.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-6.1.13.9"
IcedTea bin 6.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-bin-6.1.13.9"
