Synopsis
=======
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Oracle's JDK and JRE
software suites, the worst of which may allow execution of arbitrary
code.

Background
=========
Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) lets you develop and deploy
Java applications on desktops and servers, as well as in today’s
demanding embedded environments. Java offers the rich user interface,
performance, versatility, portability, and security that today’s
applications require.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin  < 1.8.0.162:1.8        >= 1.8.0.162:1.8 
  2  dev-java/oracle-jre-bin  < 1.8.0.162:1.8        >= 1.8.0.162:1.8 
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     2 affected packages

Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Oracle’s Java SE.
Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, gain access to information, or cause a
Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All Oracle JDK users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.162:1.8"

All Oracle JRE users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.8.0.162:1.8"
