RHBA-2014:0571 - java-1.7.0-openjdk bug fix update

Synopsis

java-1.7.0-openjdk bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated java-1.7.0-openjdk packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The java-1.7.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 7 Java Software Development Kit.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, an error in the SSL socket code caused the write() and close() calls to be invoked simultaneously on the same socket, but in two different threads. As a consequence, the socket entered a deadlock. With this update, a measure has been implemented to ensure that calls to close() and read() do not interfere with each other, and the deadlock no longer occurs. (BZ#1101263)

Users of java-1.7.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
