The remote host is missing an update for the 'icedtea-web' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. 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. IcedTea-Web now also contains PolicyEditor - a simple tool to configure Java policies. Security Fix: icedtea-web did not properly sanitize applet URLs when storing applet trust settings, allowing a malicious web page to inject trust-settings configuration, and cause applets to be executed without user approval. It also did not properly determine an applet's origin when asking the user if the applet should be run, potentially allowing a malicious page to execute the applet without user approval, or confuse the user into approving applet execution based on an incorrectly indicated applet origin

PolicyEditor - a simple tool to configure Java policies.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
icedtea-web (1.6.2). (BZ#1275523)

Security Fix(es):

  * It was discovered that IcedTea-Web did not properly sanitize applet URLs
when storing applet trust settings. A malicious web page could use this
flaw to inject trust-settings configuration, and cause applets to be
executed without user approval. (CVE-2015-5234)

Red Hat would like to thank Andrea Palazzo (Truel IT) for reporting these
issues.
