CVE-2014-2483

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE component in Oracle Java SE Java SE 7u60 and OpenJDK 7 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Libraries, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-4223. NOTE: the previous information is from the July 2014 CPU. Oracle has not commented on another vendor's claim that the issue is related to improper restriction of the "use of privileged annotations."

Updated java-1.7.0-openjdk packages fix security vulnerabilities:

It was discovered that the Hotspot component in OpenJDK did not properly verify bytecode from the class files. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-4216, CVE-2014-4219).

A format string flaw was discovered in the Hotspot component event logger in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to crash the Java Virtual Machine or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Java Virtual Machine (CVE-2014-2490).

Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Libraries component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-4223, CVE-2014-4262, CVE-2014-2483).

Multiple flaws were discovered in the JMX, Libraries, Security, and Serviceability components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-4209, CVE-2014-4218, CVE-2014-4221, CVE-2014-4252, CVE-2014-4266).

It was discovered that the RSA algorithm in the Security component in OpenJDK did not sufficiently perform blinding while performing operations that were using private keys. An attacker able to measure timing differences of those operations could possibly leak information about the used keys (CVE-2014-4244).

The Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange algorithm implementation in the Security component in OpenJDK failed to validate public DH parameters properly. This could cause OpenJDK to accept and use weak parameters, allowing an attacker to recover the negotiated key (CVE-2014-4263).

This update is based on IcedTea version 2.5.1, which fixes these issues, as well as several others.

These are all security issues fixed in the java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.121-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
