CVE Author: NIST National Vulnerability Database
CVSS Base Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'java'
Linux Distribution Package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Affected Versions:
java on CentOS 5
Recommendations:
Please install the updated Linux Distribution Packages.
Technical Details:
These Linux Distribution Packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the
OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.
A flaw was found in the Swing library. Forged TimerEvents could be used to
bypass SecurityManager checks, allowing access to otherwise blocked files
and directories. (CVE-2010-4465)
A flaw was found in the HotSpot component in OpenJDK. Certain bytecode
instructions confused the memory management within the Java Virtual Machine
(JVM), which could lead to heap corruption. (CVE-2010-4469)
A flaw was found in the way JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) components
were handled, allowing them to be manipulated by untrusted applets. This
could be used to elevate privileges and bypass secure XML processing
restrictions. (CVE-2010-4470)
It was found that untrusted applets could create and place cache entries in
the name resolution cache. This could allow an attacker targeted
manipulation over name resolution until the OpenJDK VM is restarted.
(CVE-2010-4448)
It was found that the Java launcher provided by OpenJDK did not check the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for insecure empty path elements. A
local attacker able to trick a user into running the Java launcher while
working from an attacker-writable directory could use this flaw to load an
untrusted library, subverting the Java security model. (CVE-2010-4450)
A flaw was found in the XML Digital Signature component in OpenJDK.
Untrusted code could use this flaw to replace the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) XML Digital Signature Transform or C14N algorithm implementations to
intercept digital signature operations. (CVE-2010-4472)
Note: All of the above flaws can only be remotely triggered in OpenJDK by
calling the 'appletviewer' application.
This update also provides one defense in depth patch. (BZ#676019)
All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated
Linux Distribution Packages, which resolve these issues. All running instances of OpenJDK Java
must be restarted for the update to take effect.
Detection Type:
Linux Distribution Package
Solution Type:
Vendor Patch

What's vulnerability management?
Vulnerability management is the process in which vulnerabilities in IT are identified and the risks of these vulnerabilities are evaluated. This evaluation leads to correcting the vulnerabilities and removing the risk or a formal risk acceptance by the management of an organization. The term vulnerability management is often confused with vulnerability scanning. Despite the fact both are related, there is an important difference between the two. Vulnerability scanning consists of using a computer program to identify vulnerabilities in networks, computer infrastructure or applications. Vulnerability management is the process surrounding vulnerability scanning, also taking into account other aspects such as risk acceptance, remediation etc. Source: "Implementing a Vulnerability Management Process".
