Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in IcedTea, the worst of which
may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

IcedTea's aim is to provide OpenJDK in a form suitable for easy
configuration, compilation and distribution with the primary goal of
allowing inclusion in GNU/Linux distributions.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-java/icedtea-bin < 3.4.0 >= 3.4.0
< 7.2.6.10 >= 7.2.6.10

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in IcedTea. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the dev-java/icedtea-web
package was installed, the issues exposed via Java applets could have
been exploited without user interaction if a user visited a malicious
website.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, gain access to information, or cause a
Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All IcedTea binary 7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.10:7"

All IcedTea binary 3.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.4.0:8"
