RHSA-2016:0055 - Security Advisory

  • Overview

Synopsis

Critical: java-1.8.0-oracle security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Critical

Topic

Updated java-1.8.0-oracle packages that fix several security issues are now
available for Oracle Java for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Critical 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 8 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 Update Advisory page, listed in the References section.
(CVE-2015-7575, CVE-2015-8126, CVE-2015-8472, CVE-2016-0402, CVE-2016-0448,
CVE-2016-0466, CVE-2016-0475, CVE-2016-0483, CVE-2016-0494)

Note: This update also disallows the use of the MD5 hash algorithm in the
certification path processing. The use of MD5 can be re-enabled by removing
MD5 from the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms security property defined in
the java.security file.

All users of java-1.8.0-oracle are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which provide Oracle Java 8 Update 71 and resolve these issues.
All running instances of Oracle Java must be restarted for the update to
take effect.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
