Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-146

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-146
Posted Apr 19, 2013
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-146 - Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in icedtea-web. It was discovered that the IcedTea-Web plug-in incorrectly used the same class loader instance for applets with the same value of the codebase attribute, even when they originated from different domains. A malicious applet could use this flaw to gain information about and possibly manipulate applets from different domains currently running in the browser. The IcedTea-Web plug-in did not properly check the format of the downloaded Java Archive files. This could cause the plug-in to execute code hidden in a file in a different format, possibly allowing attackers to execute code in the context of web sites that allow uploads of specific file types, known as a GIFAR attack. The updated packages have been upgraded to the 1.3.2 version which is not affected by these issues.

Package : icedtea-web
Date : April 19, 2013
Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in
icedtea-web:

It was discovered that the IcedTea-Web plug-in incorrectly used
the same class loader instance for applets with the same value of
the codebase attribute, even when they originated from different
domains. A malicious applet could use this flaw to gain information
about and possibly manipulate applets from different domains currently
running in the browser (CVE-2013-1926).

The IcedTea-Web plug-in did not properly check the format of the
downloaded Java Archive (JAR) files. This could cause the plug-in
to execute code hidden in a file in a different format, possibly
allowing attackers to execute code in the context of web sites
that allow uploads of specific file types, known as a GIFAR attack
(CVE-2013-1927).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the 1.3.2 version which
is not affected by these issues.
