Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for java-1.8.0-openjdk.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:5729 advisory.

The java-1.8.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 8 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es):

* OpenJDK: segmentation fault in ciMethodBlocks (CVE-2022-40433)

* OpenJDK: IOR deserialization issue in CORBA (8303384) (CVE-2023-22067)

* 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):

* A maximum signature file size property, jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize, was introduced in the 8u382 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, 8u392, increases it to 16 MB. (RHEL-13633)

* The /usr/bin/jfr alternative is now owned by the java-1.8.0-openjdk package (RHEL-13639)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 RHEL java-1.8.0-openjdk package based on the guidance in RHSA-2023:5729.
