The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:0191 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: handshake DoS attack against DTLS connections (JSSE, 8287411) (CVE-2023-21835)

    * OpenJDK: soundbank URL remote loading (Sound, 8293742) (CVE-2023-21843)

    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):

    * In FIPS mode, the use of a SQLite database provided by NSS was assumed, which was opened in read-only     mode and with no PIN expected. This prevented the use of other databases or setting a PIN on the NSS     database. This update allows more control over database use using two new properties - fips.nssdb.path and     fips.nssdb.pin - which can be configured permanently in the java.security file or temporarily via command-     line arguments to the Java virtual machine (BZ#2147475)

    * With previous Red Hat builds of OpenJDK 17, Mac key generation and import     would fail due to the lack of the CKA_SIGN attribute on the key. This attribute is now added as part of     the NSS FIPS configuration. (BZ#2108191)

    * NSS has offered a SQLite SecMod database for some time, and this has been available in RHEL as far back     as RHEL 6. With newer NSS versions removing the Berkeley DB one, this update switches the FIPS support     backed by NSS to use the SQLite backend (BZ#2023536)

    * [rpminspect] Disable Java bytecode checks [java-17-openjdk, rhel-8] (BZ#2109107)

    * Use the NSS SQL Database in FIPS Mode [rhel-8, openjdk-17] (BZ#2147479)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
