"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-3121-1 advisory.
It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly check arguments of the
System.arraycopy() function in certain cases. An attacker could use this to bypass Java sandbox
restrictions. (CVE-2016-5582)
It was discovered that OpenJDK did not restrict the set of algorithms used for Jar integrity verification.
An attacker could use this to modify without detection the content of a JAR file, affecting system
integrity. (CVE-2016-5542)
It was discovered that the JMX component of OpenJDK did not sufficiently perform classloader consistency
checks. An attacker could use this to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-5554)
It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly check received Java Debug Wire
Protocol (JDWP) packets. An attacker could use this to send debugging commands to a Java application with
debugging enabled. (CVE-2016-5573)
It was discovered that OpenJDK did not properly handle HTTP proxy authentication. An attacker could use
this to expose HTTPS server authentication credentials. (CVE-2016-5597)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
