Ubuntu Security Notice USN-713-1           January 27, 2009
openjdk-6 vulnerabilities
CVE-2008-5347, CVE-2008-5348, CVE-2008-5349, CVE-2008-5350,
CVE-2008-5351, CVE-2008-5352, CVE-2008-5353, CVE-2008-5354,
CVE-2008-5358, CVE-2008-5359, CVE-2008-5360
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.10:
  icedtea6-plugin                 6b12-0ubuntu6.1
  openjdk-6-jdk                   6b12-0ubuntu6.1
  openjdk-6-jre                   6b12-0ubuntu6.1
  openjdk-6-jre-headless          6b12-0ubuntu6.1
  openjdk-6-jre-lib               6b12-0ubuntu6.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart any Java applications
to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that Java did not correctly handle untrusted applets.
If a user were tricked into running a malicious applet, a remote attacker
could gain user privileges, or list directory contents. (CVE-2008-5347,
CVE-2008-5350)

It was discovered that Kerberos authentication and RSA public key
processing were not correctly handled in Java.  A remote attacker
could exploit these flaws to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5348,
CVE-2008-5349)

It was discovered that Java accepted UTF-8 encodings that might be
handled incorrectly by certain applications.  A remote attacker could
bypass string filters, possible leading to other exploits. (CVE-2008-5351)

Overflows were discovered in Java JAR processing.  If a user or
automated system were tricked into processing a malicious JAR file,
a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of
service. (CVE-2008-5352, CVE-2008-5354)

It was discovered that Java calendar objects were not unserialized safely.
If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially
crafted calendar object, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code
with user privileges. (CVE-2008-5353)

It was discovered that the Java image handling code could lead to memory
corruption.  If a user or automated system were tricked into processing
a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5358, CVE-2008-5359)

It was discovered that temporary files created by Java had predictable
names.  If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted JAR file, a remote attacker could overwrite sensitive
information.  (CVE-2008-5360)
