RHSA-2014:0908 - Security Advisory

  • Overview

Synopsis

Important: java-1.6.0-sun security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Important

Topic

Updated java-1.6.0-sun packages that fix several security issues are now
available for Oracle Java for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each
vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Description

Oracle Java SE version 6 includes the Oracle Java Runtime Environment and
the Oracle Java Software Development Kit.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the Oracle Java Runtime
Environment and the Oracle Java Software Development Kit. Further
information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Java SE Critical
Patch page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2014-4219,
CVE-2014-4216, CVE-2014-4262, CVE-2014-4209, CVE-2014-4218,
CVE-2014-4252, CVE-2014-4244, CVE-2014-4263, CVE-2014-4227,
CVE-2014-4265)

The CVE-2014-4262 issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat

For information on subscribing to the new channel/repository please refer
to: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/732883

All users of java-1.6.0-sun are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which provide Oracle Java 6 Update 81 and resolve these issues.
All running instances of Oracle Java must be restarted for the update to
take effect.
