Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for java-17-openjdk.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:1445 advisory.

The java-17-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 17 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 17 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es):

* OpenJDK: Improper ECDSA signature verification (Libraries, 8277233) (CVE-2022-21449)

* OpenJDK: Improper object-to-string conversion in AnnotationInvocationHandler (Libraries, 8277672) (CVE-2022-21434)

* OpenJDK: Missing check for negative ObjectIdentifier (Libraries, 8275151) (CVE-2022-21443)

* OpenJDK: URI parsing inconsistencies (JNDI, 8278972) (CVE-2022-21496)

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):

* Enable the import of plain keys into the NSS Software Token while in FIPS mode [rhel-8, openjdk-17] (BZ#2018189)

* Enable AlgorithmParameters and AlgorithmParameterGenerator services in FIPS mode [rhel-8, openjdk-17] (BZ#2055396)

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
