Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
The java-1.8.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 8 Java Software Development Kit. Security Fix: * OpenJDK: insufficient index validation in PatternSyntaxException getMessage For more details about the security issue, including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section. Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the 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. Bug Fix: * This update applies changes from OpenJDK upstream version 8u172, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version, 8u171. * OpenJDK was recently updated to support reading the system certificate authority database directly. As an unintended consequence, this removed the ability to read certificates from the user-provided jssecacerts file. With this update, that ability is restored by reading from that file first, if available
