ca-certificates-java vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
A certificate authority mis-issued fraudulent certificates.
Software Description:
- ca-certificates-java: Common CA certificates (JKS keystore)
Details:
USN-1197-5 addressed an issue in ca-certificates pertaining to the Dutch
Certificate Authority DigiNotar mis-issuing fraudulent certificates.
This update provides the corresponding update for ca-certificates-java.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that Dutch Certificate Authority DigiNotar had
mis-issued multiple fraudulent certificates. These certificates could allow
an attacker to perform a "man in the middle" (MITM) attack which would make
the user believe their connection is secure, but is actually being
monitored.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 11.10:
ca-certificates-java 20110912ubuntu3.1
Ubuntu 11.04:
ca-certificates-java 20100412ubuntu0.11.04.1
Ubuntu 10.10:
ca-certificates-java 20100412ubuntu0.10.10.1
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
ca-certificates-java 20100406ubuntu1.1
After a standard system update you need to restart any application using
ca-certificates-java to make all the necessary changes.
