Synopsis: Important: 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)

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.
