The java-1.6.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment
and the OpenJDK 6 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es):

  • An insufficient bytecode verification flaw was discovered in the Hotspot
    component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this
    flaw to completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2016-3606)

  • 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)
