RHBA-2011:1847 - java-1.6.0-openjdk bug fix update
Synopsis
java-1.6.0-openjdk bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated java-1.6.0-openjdk packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The java-1.6.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, a remote RMI client could execute code on the RMI server with unrestricted privileges. This security issue in the Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) registry implementation was fixed by the RHSA-2011-1380 security advisory. However, the security restrictions applied by the advisory were too strict and caused the RMI registry to stop working correctly. This update adjusts the RMI registry so it now works as expected. (BZ#767959)
All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
