The reason is you are querying the object instead of the package. Don't query Java to find out what package it came from. It doesn't know.

You must do this:
Code:
rpm -qf `which java`

then you should see the package name coincide with the CVE alert. You can then download the new version and update it by running YUM or RPM.
