Summary

Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory: icedtea-web bug fix and enhancement update

Severity

Moderate

Notes

Topic: Updated icedtea-web packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Details: 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 icedtea-web packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.6.1, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Notable changes include the following: * The IcedTea-Web documentation and man pages have been significantly expanded. * IcedTea-Web now supports bash completion. * The "Custom Policies" and "Run in Sandbox" features have been enhanced. * An -html switch has been implemented for the Java Web Start (JavaWS) framework, which can serve as a replacement of the AppletViewer program. * It is now possible to use IcedTea-Web to crate desktop and menu launchers for applets and JavaWS applications. (BZ#1217153) Users of icedtea-web are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.

CVE-2015-5235

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.
