medium Nessus Plugin ID 157226

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for java-1.8.0-openjdk.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:0307 advisory.

The java-1.8.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 8 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es):

* OpenJDK: Incomplete deserialization class filtering in ObjectInputStream (Serialization, 8264934) (CVE-2022-21248)

* OpenJDK: Insufficient URI checks in the XSLT TransformerImpl (JAXP, 8270492) (CVE-2022-21282)

* OpenJDK: Unexpected exception thrown in regex Pattern (Libraries, 8268813) (CVE-2022-21283)

* OpenJDK: Incomplete checks of StringBuffer and StringBuilder during deserialization (Libraries, 8270392) (CVE-2022-21293)

* OpenJDK: Incorrect IdentityHashMap size checks during deserialization (Libraries, 8270416) (CVE-2022-21294)

* OpenJDK: Incorrect access checks in XMLEntityManager (JAXP, 8270498) (CVE-2022-21296)

* OpenJDK: Infinite loop related to incorrect handling of newlines in XMLEntityScanner (JAXP, 8270646) (CVE-2022-21299)

* OpenJDK: Array indexing issues in LIRGenerator (Hotspot, 8272014) (CVE-2022-21305)

* OpenJDK: Excessive resource use when reading JAR manifest attributes (Libraries, 8272026) (CVE-2022-21340)

* OpenJDK: Insufficient checks when deserializing exceptions in ObjectInputStream (Serialization, 8272236) (CVE-2022-21341)

* OpenJDK: Excessive memory allocation in BMPImageReader (ImageIO, 8273756) (CVE-2022-21360)

* OpenJDK: Integer overflow in BMPImageReader (ImageIO, 8273838) (CVE-2022-21365)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, OpenJDK would crash when running the Java Flight Recorder (JFR) on PowerPC 64 (ppc64) machines. This was found to be due to missing crash protection in the ppc64 port. With this update, JFR should be run without crashing on ppc64. (BZ#2038935)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL java-1.8.0-openjdk package based on the guidance in RHSA-2022:0307.
