SB2017052405 - SUSE Linux update for java-1_7_0-ibm

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9840)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in zlib due to out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in inftrees.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it, and cause the application to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

2) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9841)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in zlib due to out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in inftrees.c. A remote attacker can cause the application to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

3) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9842)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in zlib due to an undefined left shift of negative number. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it, and cause the application to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

4) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9843)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in zlib due to big-endian out-of-bounds pointer. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it, and cause the application to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

5) XML injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1289)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XXE attack.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of XML External Entity (XXE) entries when parsing an XML data. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted XML file to disclose important data or consume memory resources.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information disclosure.

6) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3509)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to unknown error. A remote attacker can read and modify arbitrary files.

7) Remote code execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3511)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to unknown error related to the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit JCE component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted webpage and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

8) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3533)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to unknown error related to the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit Networking component. A remote attacker can access and modify arbitrary data.

9) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3539)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to unknown error related to the Java SE, Java SE Embedded Security component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted webpage, access and modify arbitrary data.

10) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3544)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to unknown error related to the Java SE, Java SE Embedded Networking component. A remote attacker can access and modify arbitrary data.
