Description:
Updated icedtea-web packages fix security vulnerabilities:
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).
