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 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0223 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: array out-of-bounds access due to missing range check in C1 compiler (8314468) (CVE-2024-20918)

* OpenJDK: RSA padding issue and timing side-channel attack against TLS (8317547) (CVE-2024-20952)

* OpenJDK: JVM class file verifier flaw allows unverified bytecode execution (8314295) (CVE-2024-20919)

* OpenJDK: range check loop optimization issue (8314307) (CVE-2024-20921)

* OpenJDK: arbitrary Java code execution in Nashorn (8314284) (CVE-2024-20926)

* OpenJDK: logging of digital signature private keys (8316976) (CVE-2024-20945)

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):

* In the previous release in October 2023 (8u392), the RPMs were changed to use Provides for java, jre, java-headless, jre-headless, java-devel and java-sdk which included the full RPM version. This prevented the Provides being used to resolve a dependency on Java 1.8.0 (for example, Requires: java-headless 1:1.8.0). This change has now been reverted to the old 1:1.8.0 value. (RHEL-19630)

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-2024:0223.
