Synopsis
icedtea-web bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated icedtea-web packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
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.
This update fixes the following bug:
- A java-1.7.0-openjdk package change released via RHSA-2013:0957 caused the icedtea-web browser plug-in and the javaws application to exit with a NullPointerException. This update fixes icedtea-web to work correctly with the updated java-1.7.0-openjdk packages. (BZ#975426)
Users of icedtea-web are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
