Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for icedtea-web CESA-2013:0753 centos6
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'icedtea-web'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'icedtea-web'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The IcedTea-Web project provides a Java web browser plug-in and an
implementation of Java Web Start, which is based on the Netx project. It
also contains a configuration tool for managing deployment settings for the
plug-in and Web Start implementations.

It was discovered that the IcedTea-Web plug-in incorrectly used the same
class loader instance for applets with the same value of the codebase
attribute, even when they originated from different domains. A malicious
applet could use this flaw to gain information about and possibly
manipulate applets from different domains currently running in the browser.
(CVE-2013-1926)

The IcedTea-Web plug-in did not properly check the format of the downloaded
Java Archive (JAR) files. This could cause the plug-in to execute code
hidden in a file in a different format, possibly allowing attackers to
execute code in the context of web sites that allow uploads of specific
file types, known as a GIFAR attack. (CVE-2013-1927)

The CVE-2013-1926 issue was discovered by Jiri Vanek of the Red Hat OpenJDK
Team, and CVE-2013-1927 was discovered by the Red Hat Security Response
Team.

This erratum also upgrades IcedTea-Web to version 1.2.3. Refer to the NEWS
file, linked to in the References, for further information.

All IcedTea-Web users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues. Web browsers using the IcedTea-Web browser plug-in
must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Affected Software/OS:
icedtea-web on CentOS 6

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
