The java-1.7.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime Environment
and the OpenJDK 7 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es):

  • Multiple flaws were discovered in the Hotspot and Libraries components in
    OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to
    completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-3606, CVE-2016-3598,
    CVE-2016-3610)

  • Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the JAXP component in OpenJDK.
    A specially crafted XML file could cause a Java application using JAXP to
    consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory when parsed. (CVE-2016-3500,
    CVE-2016-3508)

  • Multiple flaws were found in the CORBA and Hotsport components in OpenJDK. An
    untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass certain
    Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-3458, CVE-2016-3550)
