Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for java-11-openjdk.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2023:5739 advisory.

The java-11-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 11 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 11 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es):

* OpenJDK: certificate path validation issue during client authentication (8309966) (CVE-2023-22081)

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):

* Additional validity checks in the handling of Zip64 files, JDK-8302483, were introduced in the 11.0.20 release of OpenJDK, causing the use of some valid zip files to now fail with an error. This release, 11.0.20.1, allows for zero-length headers and additional padding produced by some Zip64 creation tools.
With both releases, the checks can be disabled using -Djdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation=true.
(RHBZ#2237173)

* A maximum signature file size property, jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize, was introduced in the 11.0.20 release of OpenJDK by JDK-8300596, with a default of 8 MB. This default proved to be too small for some JAR files. This release, 11.0.20.1, increases it to 16 MB.

* The serviceability agent would print an exception when encountering null addresses while producing thread dumps. These null values are now handled appropriately. (JDK-8243210, RHEL-2760)

* The /usr/bin/jfr alternative is now owned by the java-11-openjdk package (RHEL-13556)

* The jcmd tool is now provided by the java-11-openjdk-headless package, rather than java-11-openjdk- devel, to make it more accessible (RHEL-13563)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL java-11-openjdk package based on the guidance in RHSA-2023:5739.
