Insight
These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit. A denial of service flaw was found in the way certain strings were converted to Double objects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Java-based applications to hang, for instance if they parse Double values in a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2010-4476) All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.
