Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
The version of java-1.8.0-openjdk installed on the remote host is prior to 1.8.0.342.b07-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1836 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)
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.
