Description

Updated java-1.7.0-openjdk packages fix security vulnerabilities:

It was discovered that the Hotspot component in OpenJDK did not properly
verify bytecode from the class files. An untrusted Java application or
applet could possibly use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions
(CVE-2014-4216, CVE-2014-4219).

A format string flaw was discovered in the Hotspot component event logger
in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to
crash the Java Virtual Machine or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the Java Virtual Machine (CVE-2014-2490).

Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Libraries
component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use
these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-4223,
CVE-2014-4262, CVE-2014-2483).

Multiple flaws were discovered in the JMX, Libraries, Security, and
Serviceability components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or
applet could use these flaws to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions
(CVE-2014-4209, CVE-2014-4218, CVE-2014-4221, CVE-2014-4252, CVE-2014-4266).

It was discovered that the RSA algorithm in the Security component in
OpenJDK did not sufficiently perform blinding while performing operations
that were using private keys. An attacker able to measure timing
differences of those operations could possibly leak information about the
used keys (CVE-2014-4244).

The Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange algorithm implementation in the
Security component in OpenJDK failed to validate public DH parameters
properly. This could cause OpenJDK to accept and use weak parameters,
allowing an attacker to recover the negotiated key (CVE-2014-4263).

This update is based on IcedTea version 2.5.1, which fixes these issues, as
well as several others.
