Description:

This update for java-1_7_0-ibm fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

  • CVE-2018-1517: Fixed a flaw in the java.math component in IBM SDK, which may allow an attacker to inflict a denial-of-service attack with specially crafted String data.
  • CVE-2018-1656: Protect against path traversal attacks when extracting compressed dump files.
  • CVE-2018-2940: Fixed an easily exploitable vulnerability in the libraries subcomponent, which allowed unauthenticated attackers with network access via multiple protocols to compromise the Java SE, leading to unauthorized read access.
  • CVE-2018-2952: Fixed an easily exploitable vulnerability in the concurrency subcomponent, which allowed unauthenticated attackers with network access via multiple protocols to compromise the Java SE, leading to denial of service.
  • CVE-2018-2973: Fixed a difficult to exploit vulnerability in the JSSE subcomponent, which allowed unauthenticated attackers with network access via SSL/TLS to compromise the Java SE, leading to unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data.
  • CVE-2018-12539: Fixed a vulnerability in which users other than the process owner may be able to use Java Attach API to connect to the IBM JVM on the same machine and use Attach API operations, including the ability to execute untrusted arbitrary code.
