Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0069-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0069-01 – 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 found in the way the Hotspot component in OpenJDK verified bytecode from the class files, and in the way this component generated code for bytecode. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the JAX-WS, Libraries, and RMI components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0066-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0066-01 – OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer, Transport Layer Security, and Datagram Transport Layer Security protocols, as well as a full-strength, general purpose cryptography library. A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the DTLS implementation of OpenSSL. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted DTLS message, which would cause an OpenSSL server to crash. A memory leak flaw was found in the way the dtls1_buffer_record() function of OpenSSL parsed certain DTLS messages. A remote attacker could send multiple specially crafted DTLS messages to exhaust all available memory of a DTLS server.
