Debian Security Advisory DSA 2358-1 (openjdk-6)

The remote host is missing an update to openjdk-6 announced via advisory DSA 2358-1.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenJDK, an implementation of the Java platform. This combines the two previous openjdk-6 advisories, DSA-2311-1 and DSA-2356-1. CVE-2011-0862 Integer overflow errors in the JPEG and font parser allow untrusted code (including applets) to elevate its privileges. CVE-2011-0864 Hotspot, the just-in-time compiler in OpenJDK, mishandled certain byte code instructions, allowing untrusted code (including applets) to crash the virtual machine. CVE-2011-0865 A race condition in signed object deserialization could allow untrusted code to modify signed content, apparently leaving its signature intact. CVE-2011-0867 Untrusted code (including applets) could access information about network interfaces which was not intended to be public. (Note that the interface MAC address is still available to untrusted code.) Description truncated. Please see the referenced advisory for more information. For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 6b18-1.8.10-0~lenny1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openjdk-6 packages.
