These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.
Integer overflow flaws were found in the way Java2D parsed JPEG images and user-supplied fonts. An attacker could use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running an untrusted applet or application. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0862 to this issue.
It was found that the MediaTracker implementation created Component instances with unnecessary access privileges. A remote attacker could use this flaw to elevate their privileges by utilizing an untrusted applet or application that uses Swing. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0871 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the HotSpot component in OpenJDK. Certain bytecode instructions confused the memory management within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), resulting in an applet or application crashing. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0864 to this issue.
An information leak flaw was found in the NetworkInterface class. An untrusted applet or application could use this flaw to access information about available network interfaces that should only be available to privileged code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0867 to this issue.
An incorrect float-to-long conversion, leading to an overflow, was found in the way certain objects (such as images and text) were transformed in Java2D. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an untrusted applet or application that uses Java2D. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0868 to this issue.
It was found that untrusted applets and applications could misuse a SOAP connection to incorrectly set global HTTP proxy settings instead of setting them in a local scope. This flaw could be used to intercept HTTP requests. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0869 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way signed objects were deserialized. If trusted and untrusted code were running in the same Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and both were deserializing the same signed object, the untrusted code could modify said object by using this flaw to bypass the validation checks on signed objects. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-0865 to this issue.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security advisory issued by Red Hat:
| Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avaya Aura® Conferencing Standard Edition | 6.0.x | Low | See recommended actions and Mitigating Factors table below. This advisory will not be addressed as no further releases are planned. It is recommended that customers migrate to one of Avaya's conferencing solutions including Aura® Conferencing 7.0 or later. |
| Avaya Aura® System Platform | 1.1.x | Low | Upgrade to SP 6.0 or later. |
Recommended Actions for System Products:
Avaya strongly
recommends that customers follow networking and security best practices by
implementing firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other appropriate access
restrictions. Though Avaya believes such restrictions should always be in
place, risk to Avaya products and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these practices are implemented
until such time as an Avaya provided product update or the recommended Avaya
action is applied. Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the
customer's security policies may be required during this interim period, but
customers should not modify the System Product operating system or application
unless the change is approved by Avaya. Making changes that are not approved
may void the Avaya product service contract.
When determining risk, Avaya takes into account many factors as outlined by Avaya's Security Vulnerability Classification Policy. The following table describes factors that mitigate the risk of specific vulnerabilities for affected Avaya products:
| Vulnerability | Mitigating Factors |
|---|---|
|
CVE-2011-0862 CVE-2011-0864 CVE-2011-0865 CVE-2011-0867 CVE-2011-0868 CVE-2011-0869 CVE-2011-0871 |
There is a Low risk because it would require an untrusted Java applet to run on the product, which would could only happen through non-standard user interaction. |
Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems. Occasionally vulnerabilities may be discovered in the underlying operating system or applications that come with the operating system. These vulnerabilities often do not impact the software-only product directly but may threaten the integrity of the underlying platform.
In the case of this advisory Avaya software-only products are not affected by the vulnerability directly but the underlying Linux platform may be. Customers should determine on which Linux operating system the product was installed and then follow that vendor's guidance.
| Product: | Actions: |
|---|---|
| Avaya Aura® Application Enablement Services 4.x/5.x | Depending on the Operating System provided by customers, the affected package may be installed on the underlying Operating System supporting the AES application. |
| CVLAN | Depending on the Operating System provided by customers, the affected package may be installed on the underlying Operating System supporting the CVLAN application. |
| Avaya Integrated Management Suite (IMS) | Depending on the Operating System provided by customers, the affected package may be installed on the underlying Operating System supporting the IMS application. |
