Subject: Security ERRATA Critical: java-1.6.0-openjdk on SL6.x i386/x86_64

Synopsis: Critical: java-1.6.0-openjdk security update
Issue Date: 2013-02-20
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-0169
 CVE-2013-1486
--

An improper permission check issue was discovered in the JMX component in
OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to
bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2013-1486)

It was discovered that OpenJDK leaked timing information when decrypting
TLS/SSL protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used. A
remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from the
encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL server as a padding oracle.
(CVE-2013-0169)

Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the icedtea-web package was
installed, CVE-2013-1486 could have been exploited without user
interaction if a user visited a malicious website.

This erratum also upgrades the OpenJDK package to IcedTea6 1.11.8.

All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update
to take effect.
