CVE-2014-6585

Updated java-1.7.0 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A flaw was found in the way the Hotspot component in OpenJDK verified bytecode from the class files. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-6601).

Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the JAX-WS, and RMI components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0412, CVE-2015-0408).

A flaw was found in the way the Hotspot garbage collector handled phantom references. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to corrupt the Java Virtual Machine memory and, possibly, execute arbitrary code, bypassing Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0395).

A flaw was found in the way the DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) decoder in the Security component in OpenJDK handled negative length values. A specially crafted, DER-encoded input could cause a Java application to enter an infinite loop when decoded (CVE-2015-0410).

It was discovered that the SSL/TLS implementation in the JSSE component in OpenJDK failed to properly check whether the ChangeCipherSpec was received during the SSL/TLS connection handshake. An MITM attacker could possibly use this flaw to force a connection to be established without encryption being enabled (CVE-2014-6593).

An information leak flaw was found in the Swing component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0407).

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the MulticastSocket implementation in the Libraries component of OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-6587).

Multiple boundary check flaws were found in the font parsing code in the 2D component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted font file could allow an untrusted Java application or applet to disclose portions of the Java Virtual Machine memory (CVE-2014-6585, CVE-2014-6591).

Multiple insecure temporary file use issues were found in the way the Hotspot component in OpenJDK created performance statistics and error log files. A local attacker could possibly make a victim using OpenJDK overwrite arbitrary files using a symlink attack (CVE-2015-0383).

Note: This update disables SSL 3.0 by default to mitigate the POODLE issue, also known as CVE-2014-3566. The jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property can be used to re-enable SSL 3.0 support if needed. For additional information, refer to the Red Hat Bugzilla bug linked to in the References section.

It was discovered that ICU incorrectly handled memory operations when processing fonts. If an application using ICU processed crafted data, an attacker could cause it to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program (CVE-2014-6585, CVE-2014-6591).

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.

• CVE-2014-6585: Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 5.0u75, 6u85, 7u72, and 8u25 allowed remote attackers to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors reelated to 2D, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-6591 (bnc#914041).
• CVE-2014-6587: Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 6u85, 7u72, and 8u25 allowed local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Libraries (bnc#914041).
• CVE-2014-6591: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE component in Oracle Java SE 5.0u75, 6u85, 7u72, and 8u25 allowed remote attackers to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to 2D, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-6585 (bnc#914041).
• CVE-2014-6593: Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 5.0u75, 6u85, 7u72, and 8u25; Java SE Embedded 7u71 and 8u6; and JRockit 27.8.4 and 28.3.4 allowed remote attackers to affect confidentiality and integrity via vectors related to JSSE (bnc#914041).

• CVE-2014-3566: The SSL protocol 3.0, as used in OpenSSL through 1.0.1i and other products, used nondeterministic CBC padding, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain cleartext data via a padding-oracle attack, aka the 'POODLE' issue (bnc#901223).

These non-security issues were fixed:

• Update protocol support (S8046656).
• Fewer escapes from escape analysis (S8047130).
• Better GC validation (S8049253).
• TLAB stability (S8055479).
