CVE-2016-0475

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, and JRockit components in Oracle Java SE 8u66; Java SE Embedded 8u65; and JRockit R28.3.8 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to Libraries.

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the JPEG image format decoder in the AWT component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted JPEG image could cause a Java application to crash or, possibly execute arbitrary code. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2016-0483).

An integer signedness issue was found in the font parsing code in the 2D component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted font file could possibly cause the Java Virtual Machine to execute arbitrary code, allowing an untrusted Java application or applet to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2016-0494).

It was discovered that the password-based encryption (PBE) implementation in the Libraries component in OpenJDK used an incorrect key length. This could, in certain cases, lead to generation of keys that were weaker than expected (CVE-2016-0475).

It was discovered that the JAXP component in OpenJDK did not properly enforce the totalEntitySizeLimit limit. An attacker able to make a Java application process a specially crafted XML file could use this flaw to make the application consume an excessive amount of memory (CVE-2016-0466).

A flaw was found in the way TLS 1.2 could use the MD5 hash function for signing ServerKeyExchange and Client Authentication packets during a TLS handshake. A man-in-the-middle attacker able to force a TLS connection to use the MD5 hash function could use this flaw to conduct collision attacks to impersonate a TLS server or an authenticated TLS client (CVE-2015-7575).

Multiple flaws were discovered in the Networking and JMX components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2016-0402, CVE-2016-0448).

This update also required the addition of a new package, copy-jdk-configs, and a patch to the chkconfig package which adds the --family option to the alternatives command. Both of these are used by scriplets in the update java-1.8.0-openjdk packages.

These are all security issues fixed in the java-1_8_0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

java-1_8_0-openjdk was updated to version 7u95 to fix several security issues. (bsc#962743)

The following vulnerabilities were fixed:

• CVE-2015-7575: Further reduce use of MD5 (SLOTH) (bsc#960996)
• CVE-2015-8126: Vulnerability in the AWT component related to splashscreen displays
• CVE-2015-8472: Vulnerability in the AWT component, addressed by same fix
• CVE-2016-0402: Vulnerability in the Networking component related to URL processing
• CVE-2016-0448: Vulnerability in the JMX comonent related to attribute processing
• CVE-2016-0466: Vulnerability in the JAXP component, related to limits
• CVE-2016-0483: Vulnerability in the AWT component related to image decoding
• CVE-2016-0494: Vulnerability in 2D component related to font actions

This update for java-1_8_0-ibm fixes the following security issues by updating to 8.0-2.10 (bsc#963937):

• CVE-2015-5041: Could could have invoked non-public interface methods under certain circumstances
• CVE-2015-7575: The TLS protocol could allow weaker than expected security caused by a collision attack when using the MD5 hash function for signing a ServerKeyExchange message during a TLS handshake. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to impersonate a TLS server and obtain credentials
• CVE-2015-8126: buffer overflow in libpng caused by improper bounds checking by the png_set_PLTE() and png_get_PLTE() functions
• CVE-2015-8472: buffer overflow in libpng caused by improper bounds checking by the png_set_PLTE() and png_get_PLTE() functions
• CVE-2016-0402: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Networking component has no confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact
• CVE-2016-0448: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JMX component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information
• CVE-2016-0466: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JAXP component could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service
• CVE-2016-0475: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Libraries component has partial confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact
• CVE-2016-0483: An unspecified vulnerability related to the AWT component has complete confidentiality impact, complete integrity impact, and complete availability impact
• CVE-2016-0494: An unspecified vulnerability related to the 2D component has complete confidentiality impact, complete integrity impact, and complete availability impact

The following bugs were fixed:

• bsc#960402: resolve package conflicts in devel package
