Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-971-1 (openjdk-6)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to openjdk-6
announced via advisory USN-971-1.

Details follow:

It was discovered that the IcedTea plugin did not correctly check certain
accesses. If a user or automated system were tricked into running a
specially crafted Java applet, a remote attacker could read arbitrary
files with user privileges, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-2548,
CVE-2010-2783)

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 9.04:
icedtea6-plugin 6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1~
9.04.1

Ubuntu 9.10:
icedtea6-plugin 6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1~
9.10.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
icedtea6-plugin 6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1

After a standard system update you need to restart any Java applications
to make all the necessary changes.
