RHBA-2013:0099 - java-1.6.0-openjdk bug fix update

Synopsis

java-1.6.0-openjdk bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated java-1.6.0-openjdk packages that fix various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The java-1.6.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Java Software Development Kit.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the CCacheInputStream class could not to read Kerberos ticket cache files as it failed to handle the configuration settings stored in the ticket cache file under a special principal name. The configuration credentials are now ignored and the ticket cache is parsed correctly. Also, the initial context token generated by the GSSAPI/SPNEGO plug-in was previously rejected by the MIT Kerberos library due to incorrect data type of the reqFlags and NegTokenInit fields. The fields now use the correct data types. (BZ#729502)

  • A JStack exception was thrown when a program was trying to capture both java and native stacktrace (mixed mode). Safety checks have been added and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#808293)

All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
