Ubuntu 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 : OpenJDK vulnerabilities (USN-6527-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 186449

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6527-1 advisory.

 Carter Kozak discovered that OpenJDK, when compiling with AVX-512 instruction support enabled, could produce code that resulted in memory corruption in certain situations. An attacker targeting applications built in this way could possibly use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. In Ubuntu, OpenJDK defaults to not using AVX-512 instructions. (CVE-2023-22025)

 It was discovered that OpenJDK did not properly perform PKIX certification path validation in certain situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-22081)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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 packages.
