IcedTea6 has been released, fixing two security issues: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2013-March/022145.html Oracle has also released an emergency update of Java 6/7, citing one of these issues as being actively exploited in the wild (CVE-2013-1493): http://freecode.com/projects/sunjdk/releases/352794 Updated package uploaded for Mageia 2. Advisory to come later. Updated RPMs: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-39.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo-1.6.0.0-39.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-39.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.6.0.0-39.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-src-1.6.0.0-39.b24.1.mga2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-debug-1.6.0.0-39.b24.1.mga2 from java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-39.b24.1.mga2.src.rpm Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Is openjdk affected by this.. "Oracle notes that Java 6u43 will be the last publicly available update for Java 6 and advises users to upgrade to Java 7. The public availability of Java 6 updates was supposed to end with Java 6 Update 41, released on Feb. 19, but it seems the company made an exception for this emergency patch." Given the rate of critical java updates this last month we should prepare to move if necessary before the next one hits.

No announcements from RedHat or the upstream blog yet, so here's what I have for now. Advisory: ======================== Updated java-1.6.0-openjdk packages fix security vulnerabilities: An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the 2D component handled certain sample model instances. A specially-crafted sample model instance could cause Java Virtual Machine memory corruption and, possibly, lead to arbitrary code execution with the virtual machine privileges (CVE-2013-0809). It was discovered that the CMM part of the 2D component did not properly reject certain malformed images. Specially-crafted raster parameters could cause Java Virtual Machine memory corruption and, possibly, lead to arbitrary code execution with the virtual machine privileges (CVE-2013-1493).

(In reply to claire robinson from comment #1) > Is openjdk affected by this.. You mean the fact that Java 6 is now EOL at Oracle? I've been wondering the same thing, I don't know what the IcedTea people are planning, and if they can/will continue to support IcedTea6. If not, we'll have to switch icedtea-web to use java-1.7.0-openjdk at some point.

Ubuntu has issued an advisory for this on March 5: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1755-1/ I'll use their CVE descriptions for the final advisory. This can be pushed now. Advisory: ======================== Updated java-1.6.0-openjdk packages fix security vulnerabilities: It was discovered that OpenJDK did not properly validate certain types of images. A remote attacker could exploit this to cause OpenJDK to crash (CVE-2013-0809). It was discovered that OpenJDK did not properly check return values when performing color conversion for images. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted image with OpenJDK, such as with the Java plugin, a remote attacker could cause OpenJDK to crash or execute arbitrary code outside of the Java sandbox with the privileges of the user invoking the program (CVE-2013-1493).
