Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for java-1_6_0-ibm fixes the following issues by updating to 6.0-16.20 (bsc#963937)

- CVE-2015-5041: Could could have invoked non-public interface methods under certain circumstances

- CVE-2015-7575: The TLS protocol could allow weaker than expected security caused by a collision attack when using the MD5 hash function for signing a ServerKeyExchange message during a TLS handshake. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to impersonate a TLS server and obtain credentials

- CVE-2015-7981: libpng could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an out-of-bounds read in the png_convert_to_rfc1123 function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information

- CVE-2015-8126: buffer overflow in libpng caused by improper bounds checking by the png_set_PLTE() and png_get_PLTE() functions

- CVE-2015-8472: buffer overflow in libpng caused by improper bounds checking by the png_set_PLTE() and png_get_PLTE() functions

- CVE-2015-8540: libpng is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by a read underflow in png_check_keyword in pngwutil.c. By sending an overly long argument, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.

- CVE-2016-0402: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Networking component has no confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact

- CVE-2016-0448: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JMX component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information

- CVE-2016-0466: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JAXP component could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service

- CVE-2016-0483: An unspecified vulnerability related to the AWT component has complete confidentiality impact, complete integrity impact, and complete availability impact

- CVE-2016-0494: An unspecified vulnerability related to the 2D component has complete confidentiality impact, complete integrity impact, and complete availability impact

The following bugs were fixed :

- bsc#960402: resolve package conflicts in devel package

- bsc#960286: resolve package conflicts in the fonts subpackage

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

To install this SUSE Security Update use YaST online_update. Alternatively you can run the command listed for your product :

SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Legacy Software 12 :

zypper in -t patch SUSE-SLE-Module-Legacy-12-2016-244=1

To bring your system up-to-date, use 'zypper patch'.

How to Run

Here is how to run the SUSE SLES12 Security Update : java-1_6_0-ibm (SUSE-SU-2016:0428-1) (SLOTH) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select SuSE Local Security Checks plugin family.
On the right side table select SUSE SLES12 Security Update : java-1_6_0-ibm (SUSE-SU-2016:0428-1) (SLOTH) plugin ID 119974.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl suse_SU-2016-0428-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a suse_SU-2016-0428-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - suse_SU-2016-0428-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state suse_SU-2016-0428-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
