Descriptions

The Hotspot component in OpenJDK8 as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

El componente Hotspot en OpenJDK8, como empaquetado en Red Hat Enterprise Linux versión 6 y 7, permite a los usuarios locales escribir en archivos arbitrarios mediante un ataque de enlace simbólico.

The java-1.8.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 8 Java Software Development Kit. Multiple flaws were discovered in the 2D, CORBA, JMX, Libraries and RMI components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. A flaw was found in the way the Libraries component of OpenJDK verified Online Certificate Status Protocol responses. An OCSP response with no nextUpdate date specified was incorrectly handled as having unlimited validity, possibly causing a revoked X.509 certificate to be interpreted as valid.
