This update for java-1_7_0-openjdk to version 2.6.6 fixes five security issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-0686: Ensure thread consistency (bsc#976340).

  - CVE-2016-0687: Better byte behavior (bsc#976340).

  - CVE-2016-0695: Make DSA more fair (bsc#976340).

  - CVE-2016-3425: Better buffering of XML strings     (bsc#976340).

  - CVE-2016-3427: Improve JMX connections (bsc#976340).

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to information disclosure, data integrity, and availability. An attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service, expose sensitive data over the network, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2016:0723 :

An update for java-1.6.0-openjdk is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Critical. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The java-1.6.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es) :

* Multiple flaws were discovered in the Serialization and Hotspot components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
(CVE-2016-0686, CVE-2016-0687)

* It was discovered that the RMI server implementation in the JMX component in OpenJDK did not restrict which classes can be deserialized when deserializing authentication credentials. A remote, unauthenticated attacker able to connect to a JMX port could possibly use this flaw to trigger deserialization flaws. (CVE-2016-3427)

* It was discovered that the JAXP component in OpenJDK failed to properly handle Unicode surrogate pairs used as part of the XML attribute values. Specially crafted XML input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when parsed.
(CVE-2016-3425)

* It was discovered that the Security component in OpenJDK failed to check the digest algorithm strength when generating DSA signatures.
The use of a digest weaker than the key strength could lead to the generation of signatures that were weaker than expected.
(CVE-2016-0695)

The version of Java SDK installed on the remote AIX host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - 2D
  - Deployment
  - Hotspot
  - JCE
  - JMX
  - JVM
  - ORB
  - SDK
  - Serialization

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is prior to 8 Update 91, 7 Update 101, or 6 Update 115. It is, therefore, affected by security vulnerabilities in the following subcomponents :

  - 2D
  - Deployment
  - Hotspot
  - JAXP
  - JCE
  - JMX
  - Security
  - Serialization

The version of Oracle Java SE installed on the remote host is prior to 6 Update 115, 7 Update 101, or 8 Update 92 and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw related to the 'Serialization' subcomponent may allow a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0686)
 - An unspecified flaw related to the 'Hotspot' subcomponent may allow a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0687)
 - An unspecified flaw related to the 'Security' subcomponent may allow a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0695)
 - An unspecified flaw related to the '2D' subcomponent may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-3422)
 - An unspecified flaw related to the 'JAXP' subcomponent may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-3425)
 - An unspecified flaw related to the 'JCE' subcomponent may allow a context-dependent attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2016-3426)
 - A flaw related to the 'JMX' subcomponent may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code through Java deserialization. (CVE-2016-3427)
 - An out-of-bounds read flaw within the '2D' subcomponent is triggered when handling specially crafted files. This may allow a context-dependent attacker gain unauthorized access to potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2016-3443)
 - An unspecified flaw related to the 'Deployment' subcomponent may allow a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3449)
