Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in IcedTea allowing remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability through various vectors.

Background

IcedTea’s aim is to provide OpenJDK in a form suitable for easy configuration, compilation and distribution with the primary goal of allowing inclusion in GNU/Linux distributions.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
dev-java/icedtea	< 7.2.6.4	>= 7.2.6.4	All supported architectures
dev-java/icedtea-bin	< 7.2.6.4	>= 7.2.6.4	All supported architectures

Description

Various OpenJDK attack vectors in IcedTea, such as 2D, Corba, Hotspot, Libraries, and JAXP, exist which allows remote attackers to affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of vulnerable systems. This includes the possibility of remote execution of arbitrary code, information disclosure, or Denial of Service. Many of the vulnerabilities can only be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and java applets. Please reference the CVEs listed for specific details.

Impact

Remote attackers may remotely execute arbitrary code, compromise information, or cause Denial of Service.

Workaround

There is no known work around at this time.

Resolution

IcedTea 7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-7.2.6.4"
    

IcedTea bin 7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.4"

IcedTea 6.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-6.1.13.9"

IcedTea bin 6.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-bin-6.1.13.9"
