Synopsis

Description

The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-097f828f8c advisory.

 # New in release OpenJDK 19.0.2 (2023-01-17)

 ## CVEs Fixed

 * CVE-2023-21835
 * CVE-2023-21843

 ## Security Fixes

 - JDK-8286070: Improve UTF8 representation
 - JDK-8286496: Improve Thread labels
 - JDK-8287411: Enhance DTLS performance
 - JDK-8288516: Enhance font creation
 - JDK-8293554: Enhanced DH Key Exchanges
 - JDK-8293598: Enhance InetAddress address handling
 - JDK-8293717: Objective view of ObjectView
 - JDK-8293734: Improve BMP image handling
 - JDK-8293742: Better Banking of Sounds
 - JDK-8295687: Better BMP bounds

 ## Major Changes

 ### JDK-8295687: Better BMP bounds

 Loading a linked ICC profile within a BMP image is now disabled by default. To re-enable it, set the new system property `sun.imageio.bmp.enabledLinkedProfiles` to `true`. This new property replaces the old property, `sun.imageio.plugins.bmp.disableLinkedProfiles`.

 ### JDK-8293742: Better Banking of Sounds

 Previously, the SoundbankReader implementation, `com.sun.media.sound.JARSoundbankReader`, would download a JAR soundbank from a URL. This behaviour is now disabled by default. To re-enable it, set the new system property `jdk.sound.jarsoundbank` to `true`.

 ### JDK-8287411: Enhance DTLS performance

 The JDK now exchanges DTLS cookies for all handshakes, new and resumed. The previous behaviour can be re- enabled by setting the new system property `jdk.tls.enableDtlsResumeCookie` to `false`.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora 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

Update the affected 1:java-latest-openjdk package.
