=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for icedtea-web is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

3. 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. IcedTea-Web now also contains
PolicyEditor - a simple tool to configure Java policies.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
icedtea-web (1.6.2). (BZ#1275523)

Security Fix(es):

* It was discovered that IcedTea-Web did not properly sanitize applet URLs
when storing applet trust settings. A malicious web page could use this
flaw to inject trust-settings configuration, and cause applets to be
executed without user approval. (CVE-2015-5234)

* It was discovered that IcedTea-Web did not properly determine an applet's
origin when asking the user if the applet should be run. A malicious page
could use this flaw to cause IcedTea-Web to execute the applet without user
approval, or confuse the user into approving applet execution based on an
incorrectly indicated applet origin. (CVE-2015-5235)

Red Hat would like to thank Andrea Palazzo (Truel IT) for reporting these
issues.

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
