Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in IcedTea, the worst of which
may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
IcedTea's aim is to provide OpenJDK in a form suitable for easy
configuration, compilation and distribution with the primary goal of
allowing inclusion in GNU/Linux distributions.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-java/icedtea-bin < 3.4.0 >= 3.4.0
< 7.2.6.10 >= 7.2.6.10
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in IcedTea. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the dev-java/icedtea-web
package was installed, the issues exposed via Java applets could have
been exploited without user interaction if a user visited a malicious
website.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, gain access to information, or cause a
Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All IcedTea binary 7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.10:7"
All IcedTea binary 3.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.4.0:8"
