Problem Description:

Updates to the java-1.6.0-sun packages that disable the Java Web Browser Plug-in and Web Start included in these packages. As a result, customers who rely on Java-based browser applets may need to re-configure their browser to use one of the Java implementations listed in the Solution section below.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary (v. 5) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Supplementary (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 5) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

Oracle Java SE version 6 includes the Oracle Java Runtime Environment and the Oracle Java Software Development Kit.

Oracle Java SE 6 will not receive updates after February 28, 2013. The Oracle Java SE 6 packages on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary media and in Red Hat Network (RHN) channels will continue to be available.

Red Hat will continue to provide these packages only as a courtesy to customers. Red Hat will not provide updates to these packages after this date.

Once customers update their system by installing the packages associated with this advisory, the Oracle Java Web Plug-in will be disabled. As a result, customers who rely on Java-based browser applets may need to re-configure their browser to use one of the Java implementations listed in the Solution section below.

All users of java-1.6.0-sun are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.

4. Solution:

Red Hat recommends that customers using Oracle Java SE 6 choose one of the following alternative Java implementations:

* OpenJDK 6, which is available and supported in Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 and 6.

* IBM's Java SE 6, which is available on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
and 6 Supplementary media and Supplementary RHN channels through
September 2017.

* OpenJDK 7, which is available and supported in Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 and 6.

* IBM's Java SE 7, which is available on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
and 6 Supplementary media and Supplementary RHN channels.

* Oracle Java SE 7, which is available today on the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary media and Supplementary RHN channels.

Please refer to Red Hat Knowledge solution 314713 for information on how to install and configure any of these Java implementations. This solution also describes how customers who rely on Java-based browser applets can re-configure their Java Web Plug-in.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
