Synopsis

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

Description

The version of java-1.8.0-amazon-corretto installed on the remote host is prior to 1.8.0_352.b08-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2CORRETTO8-2022-004 advisory.

(CVE-2022-21619)
