Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa discovered a flaw in the TLS and SSLv3 protocols. If an attacker could perform a man in the middle attack at the start of a TLS connection, the attacker could inject arbitrary content at the beginning of the user’s session. (CVE-2009-3555)
It was discovered that Loader-constraint table, Policy/PolicyFile, Inflater/Deflater, drag/drop access, and deserialization did not correctly handle certain sensitive objects. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, private information could be leaked to a remote attacker, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-0082, CVE-2010-0084, CVE-2010-0085, CVE-2010-0088, CVE-2010-0091, CVE-2010-0094)

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa discovered a flaw in the TLS and SSLv3 protocols. If an attacker could perform a man in the middle attack at the start of a TLS connection, the attacker could inject arbitrary content at the beginning of the user’s session. (CVE-2009-3555)
It was discovered that Loader-constraint table, Policy/PolicyFile, Inflater/Deflater, drag/drop access, and deserialization did not correctly handle certain sensitive objects. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, private information could be leaked to a remote attacker, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2010-0082, CVE-2010-0084, CVE-2010-0085, CVE-2010-0088, CVE-2010-0091, CVE-2010-0094)
It was discovered that AtomicReferenceArray, System.arraycopy, InetAddress, and HashAttributeSet did not correctly handle certain situations. If a remote attacker could trigger specific error conditions, a Java application could crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0092, CVE-2010-0093, CVE-2010-0095, CVE-2010-0845)
It was discovered that Pack200, CMM readMabCurveData, ImagingLib, and the AWT library did not correctly check buffer lengths. If a user or automated system were tricked into handling specially crafted JAR files or images, a remote attacker could crash the Java application or possibly gain user privileges (CVE-2010-0837, CVE-2010-0838, CVE-2010-0847, CVE-2010-0848).
It was discovered that applets did not correctly handle certain trust chains. If a user were tricked into running a specially crafted applet, a remote attacker could possibly run untrusted code with user privileges. (CVE-2010-0840)
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
After a standard system upgrade you need to restart all Java applications to effect the necessary changes.
