Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2022 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-113 advisory.

 Generated code produced by C1 may leak a package-private class to a class from a different package.
 (CVE-2022-21540)

 MethodHandle.invokeBasic() method can be accessed on byte code level from an arbitrary class.
 (CVE-2022-21541)

 computeNextExponential sometimes returns negative numbers contrary to the documentation. (CVE-2022-21549)

 The Xalan Java XSLT library has an integer truncation issue when processing malicious stylesheets. This can be used to corrupt Java class files generated by the internal XSLTC compiler and execute arbitrary Java bytecode. (CVE-2022-34169)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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

Run 'dnf update --releasever=2022.0.20220719 java-17-amazon-corretto' to update your system.
