4.68. java-1.6.0-openjdk
Updated java-1.6.0-openjdk packages that fix various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The java-1.6.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Java Software Development Kit.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#729502
- Previously, the CCacheInputStream class could not to read Kerberos ticket cache files as it failed to handle the configuration settings stored in the ticket cache file under a special principal name. The configuration credentials are now ignored and the ticket cache is parsed correctly. Also, the initial context token generated by the GSSAPI/SPNEGO plug-in was previously rejected by the MIT Kerberos library due to incorrect data type of the reqFlags and NegTokenInit fields. The fields now use the correct data types.
- BZ#808293
- A JStack exception was thrown when a program was trying to capture both java and native stacktrace (mixed mode). Safety checks have been added and the problem no longer occurs.
All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) associated with each description below.
These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.
Security Fixes
- CVE-2012-1711, CVE-2012-1719
- Multiple flaws were discovered in the CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) implementation in Java. A malicious Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions or modify immutable object data.
- CVE-2012-1716
- It was discovered that the SynthLookAndFeel class from Swing did not properly prevent access to certain UI elements from outside the current application context. A malicious Java application or applet could use this flaw to crash the Java Virtual Machine, or bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
- CVE-2012-1713
- Multiple flaws were discovered in the font manager's layout lookup implementation. A specially-crafted font file could cause the Java Virtual Machine to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the virtual machine.
- CVE-2012-1723, CVE-2012-1725
- Multiple flaws were found in the way the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine verified the bytecode of the class file to be executed. A specially-crafted Java application or applet could use these flaws to crash the Java Virtual Machine, or bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
- CVE-2012-1724
- It was discovered that the Java XML parser did not properly handle certain XML documents. An attacker able to make a Java application parse a specially-crafted XML file could use this flaw to make the XML parser enter an infinite loop.
- CVE-2012-1718
- It was discovered that the Java security classes did not properly handle Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL). CRL containing entries with duplicate certificate serial numbers could have been ignored.
- CVE-2012-1717
- It was discovered that various classes of the Java Runtime library could create temporary files with insecure permissions. A local attacker could use this flaw to gain access to the content of such temporary files.
This erratum also upgrades the OpenJDK package to IcedTea6 1.10.8. Refer to the NEWS file for further information.
All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Security Fixes
- CVE-2012-5086, CVE-2012-5084, CVE-2012-5089
- Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Beans, Swing, and JMX components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
- CVE-2012-5068, CVE-2012-5071, CVE-2012-5069, CVE-2012-5073, CVE-2012-5072
- Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Scripting, JMX, Concurrency, Libraries, and Security components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
- CVE-2012-5079
- It was discovered that java.util.ServiceLoader could create an instance of an incompatible class while performing provider lookup. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
- CVE-2012-5081
- It was discovered that the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) SSL/TLS implementation did not properly handle handshake records containing an overly large data length value. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause an SSL/TLS server to terminate with an exception.
