Subject: Security ERRATA Critical: java-1.6.0-openjdk on SL6.x i386/x86_64
MIME-Version: 1.0

Synopsis: Critical: java-1.6.0-openjdk security update
Issue Date: 2013-03-06
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-0809
 CVE-2013-1493
--

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the 2D component handled
certain sample model instances. A specially-crafted sample model instance
could cause Java Virtual Machine memory corruption and, possibly, lead to
arbitrary code execution with virtual machine privileges. (CVE-2013-0809)

It was discovered that the 2D component did not properly reject certain
malformed images. Specially-crafted raster parameters could cause Java
Virtual Machine memory corruption and, possibly, lead to arbitrary code
execution with virtual machine privileges. (CVE-2013-1493)

Note: If your system has not yet been upgraded to Scientific Linux 6.4 and
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. Thus, this update has
been rated as having critical security impact as a one time exception. The
icedtea-web package as provided with Scientific Linux 6.4 uses OpenJDK 7
instead.

This erratum also upgrades the OpenJDK package to IcedTea6 1.11.9.
All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update to
take effect.
