Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of java-11-amazon-corretto installed on the remote host is prior to 11.0.17+8-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1867 advisory.

Title: Wider MultiByte conversionsBuffer overflow is possible due to incorrect byte count (should be charactercount). (CVE-2022-21618)

Title: Improve NTLM supportwriteSecurityBuffer() writes a serialized security buffer to be used for NTLMauth. One of the fields that are serialized is a hostname provided by thename resolver. If this hostname is very long, integer truncation occurs,which would allow a malicious hostname to be partially re-interpreted assomething else following a hostname, once the security buffer is deserializedon the other size. (CVE-2022-21619)

Title: Improve JNDI lookupsJNDI DNS port numbers can be easily guessed and should be more random.
(CVE-2022-21624)

Title: Key X509 usagesDecoding of X509 keys may use excessive amount of heap memory. (CVE-2022-21626)

Title: Better HttpServer serviceHttpServer eagerly accepts connections which may exceed the limit.
(CVE-2022-21628)

Title: Improve HTTP/1.1 client usageThe HTTP/2 connection cache caches connection based on the IP address but notthe SNI which can allow spoofing for servers on the same IP. (CVE-2022-39399)

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.
