===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 8.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 8.10:
icedtea6-plugin 6b12-0ubuntu6.1
openjdk-6-jdk 6b12-0ubuntu6.1
openjdk-6-jre 6b12-0ubuntu6.1
openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b12-0ubuntu6.1
openjdk-6-jre-lib 6b12-0ubuntu6.1
After a standard system upgrade you need to restart any Java applications
to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
It was discovered that Java did not correctly handle untrusted applets.
If a user were tricked into running a malicious applet, a remote attacker
could gain user privileges, or list directory contents. (CVE-2008-5347,
CVE-2008-5350)
It was discovered that Kerberos authentication and RSA public key
processing were not correctly handled in Java. A remote attacker
could exploit these flaws to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5348,
CVE-2008-5349)
It was discovered that Java accepted UTF-8 encodings that might be
handled incorrectly by certain applications. A remote attacker could
bypass string filters, possible leading to other exploits. (CVE-2008-5351)
Overflows were discovered in Java JAR processing. If a user or
automated system were tricked into processing a malicious JAR file,
a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of
service. (CVE-2008-5352, CVE-2008-5354)
It was discovered that Java calendar objects were not unserialized safely.
If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially
crafted calendar object, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code
with user privileges. (CVE-2008-5353)
It was discovered that the Java image handling code could lead to memory
corruption. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing
a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5358, CVE-2008-5359)
It was discovered that temporary files created by Java had predictable
names. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted JAR file, a remote attacker could overwrite sensitive
information. (CVE-2008-5360)
