Synopsis

Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated icedtea-web package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The icedtea-web package provides a Java web browser plug-in, a Java Web Start implementation, and the IcedTea Web Control Panel.
The icedtea-web package has been upgraded to upstream version 1.1.5, which ensures that Firefox 10 and later does not terminate unexpectedly when LiveConnect is heavily used, and that Chrome browser tabs no longer terminate unexpectedly during JavaScript execution. (BZ#800276)
Note: This update is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and earlier. If you are using such a Firefox version, upgrade to a later supported version before applying this update.
All users of icedtea-web are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
