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_362.b08-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2CORRETTO8-2023-005 advisory.

Improve CORBA communication: CORBA deserialization can result in outbound network connections with data passed in. (CVE-2023-21830)

Better Banking of Sounds: JARSoundbankReader can load classes from remote URLs. (CVE-2023-21843)

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 'yum update java-1.8.0-amazon-corretto' to update your system.
