1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion
The Sun Java 6 SDK/JRE was updated to u17 update fixing bugs and
various security issues:
CVE-2009-3866:The Java Web Start Installer in Sun Java SE in JDK
and JRE 6 before Update 17 does not properly use security model
permissions when removing installer extensions, which allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code by modifying a certain JNLP file
to have a URL field that points to an unintended trusted application,
aka Bug Id 6872824.
CVE-2009-3867: Stack-based buffer overflow in the
HsbParser.getSoundBank function in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0
before Update 22, JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE 1.3.x
before 1.3.1_27, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long file: URL in an
argument, aka Bug Id 6854303.
CVE-2009-3869: Stack-based buffer overflow in the setDiffICM function
in the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) in Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 22, JDK and
JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_27, and SDK
and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a crafted argument, aka Bug Id 6872357.
CVE-2009-3871: Heap-based buffer overflow in the setBytePixels function
in the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) in Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 22, JDK and
JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_27, and SDK
and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via crafted arguments, aka Bug Id 6872358.
CVE-2009-3874: Integer overflow in the JPEGImageReader implementation
in the ImageI/O component in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before
Update 22, JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before
1.4.2_24 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via large
subsample dimensions in a JPEG file that triggers a heap-based buffer
overflow, aka Bug Id 6874643.
CVE-2009-3875: The MessageDigest.isEqual function in Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 22,
JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_27,
and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows remote attackers to spoof
HMAC-based digital signatures, and possibly bypass authentication,
via unspecified vectors related to "timing attack vulnerabilities,"
aka Bug Id 6863503.
CVE-2009-3876: Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java SE in JDK and
JRE 5.0 before Update 22, JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE
1.3.x before 1.3.1_27, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption)
via crafted DER encoded data, which is not properly decoded by the
ASN.1 DER input stream parser, aka Bug Id 6864911.
CVE-2009-3877: Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java SE in JDK and
JRE 5.0 before Update 22, JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE
1.3.x before 1.3.1_27, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption)
via crafted HTTP headers, which are not properly parsed by the ASN.1
DER input stream parser, aka Bug Id 6864911.
CVE-2009-3864: The Java Update functionality in Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update
22 and JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, when a non-English version
of Windows is used, does not retrieve available new JRE versions,
which allows remote attackers to leverage vulnerabilities in older
releases of this software, aka Bug Id 6869694.
CVE-2009-3865: The launch method in the Deployment Toolkit plugin in
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 6 before
Update 17 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via
a crafted web page, aka Bug Id 6869752.
CVE-2009-3868: Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 22,
JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_27,
and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 does not properly parse color
profiles, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a
crafted image file, aka Bug Id 6862970.
CVE-2009-3872: Unspecified vulnerability in the JPEG JFIF Decoder
in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 22, JDK and JRE 6
before Update 17, SDK and JRE 1.3.x before 1.3.1_27, and SDK and JRE
1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via
a crafted image file, aka Bug Id 6862969.
CVE-2009-3873: The JPEG Image Writer in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE
5.0 before Update 22, JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17, and SDK and JRE
1.4.x before 1.4.2_24 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via
a crafted image file, related to a "quantization problem," aka Bug
Id 6862968.
2) Solution or Work-Around
There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.
3) Special Instructions and Notes
Please close and restart all running instances of Sun Java 6 after the update.
4) Package Location and Checksums
The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and
automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them.
Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually
and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this
announcement. Then install the packages using the command
rpm -Fhv
