Summary

The Sun 1.6.0 Java release includes the Sun Java 6 Runtime Environment and the Sun Java 6 Software Development Kit.
This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the Sun Java 6 Runtime Environment and the Sun Java 6 Software Development Kit. Further information about these flaws can be found on the "Oracle Java SE and Java for Business Critical Patch Update Advisory" page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2010-1321, CVE-2010-3541, CVE-2010-3548, CVE-2010-3549, CVE-2010-3550, CVE-2010-3551, CVE-2010-3552, CVE-2010-3553, CVE-2010-3554, CVE-2010-3555, CVE-2010-3556, CVE-2010-3557, CVE-2010-3558, CVE-2010-3559, CVE-2010-3560, CVE-2010-3561, CVE-2010-3562, CVE-2010-3563, CVE-2010-3565, CVE-2010-3566, CVE-2010-3567, CVE-2010-3568, CVE-2010-3569, CVE-2010-3570, CVE-2010-3571, CVE-2010-3572, CVE-2010-3573, CVE-2010-3574)
The RHSA-2010:0337 update mitigated a man-in-the-middle attack in the way the TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer) protocols handle session renegotiation by disabling renegotiation. This update implements the TLS Renegotiation Indication Extension as defined in RFC 5746, allowing secure renegotiation between updated clients and servers. (CVE-2009-3555)
Users of java-1.6.0-sun should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. All running instances of Sun Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.
