(RHSA-2013:0274) Important: java-1.6.0-openjdk security update

These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the
OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.

An improper permission check issue was discovered in the JMX component in
OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to
bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2013-1486)

It was discovered that OpenJDK leaked timing information when decrypting
TLS/SSL protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used.
A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from
the encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL server as a padding oracle.
(CVE-2013-0169)

This erratum also upgrades the OpenJDK package to IcedTea6 1.11.8. Refer to
the NEWS file, linked to in the References, for further information.

All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve these issues. All running instances of OpenJDK Java
must be restarted for the update to take effect.
