An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has one security fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update for OpenJDK 10.0.2 fixes the following security issues:

  • CVE-2018-2940: the libraries sub-component contained an easily exploitable vulnerability that allowed attackers to compromise Java SE or Java SE Embedded over the network, potentially gaining unauthorized read access to data that's accessible to the server. [bsc#1101645]

  • CVE-2018-2952: the concurrency sub-component contained a difficult to exploit vulnerability that allowed attackers to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, or JRockit over the network. This issue could have been abused to mount a partial denial-of-service attack on the server. [bsc#1101651]

  • CVE-2018-2972: the security sub-component contained a difficult to exploit vulnerability that allowed attackers to compromise Java SE over the network, potentially gaining unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Java SE accessible data. [bsc#1101655)

  • CVE-2018-2973: the JSSE sub-component contained a difficult to exploit vulnerability allowed attackers to compromise Java SE or Java SE Embedded over the network, potentially gaining the ability to create, delete or modify critical data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data without authorization. [bsc#1101656]

Furthemore, the following bugs were fixed:

  • Properly remove the existing alternative for java before reinstalling it. [bsc#1096420]

  • idlj was moved to the *-devel package. [bsc#1096420]
