The version of java-17-amazon-corretto installed on the remote host is prior to 17.0.10+7-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2415 advisory.

    A vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary java code from the javascript engine even     though the option --no-java was set. (CVE-2024-20918)

    With carefully crafted custom bytecodes, arbitrary unverified bytecodes could be executed.
    (CVE-2024-20919)

    Loop optimizations are not correct when induction variable overflows (CVE-2024-20921)

    Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: JavaFX).  Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u391; Oracle GraalVM     Enterprise Edition: 20.3.12 and  21.3.8. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition executes     to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition.  Successful attacks require human     interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition     accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running     sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g.,     code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not     apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed     by an administrator). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 2.5 (Integrity impacts).  CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). (CVE-2024-20922)

    Missing validation may cause unexpected issues. (CVE-2024-20923)

    There are several integer overflows in the media handling (CVE-2024-20925)

    Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: Security).  Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 17.0.9;
    Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.9; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.8 and  22.3.4. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition.  Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in  unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or     all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This     vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the     internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java     deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an     administrator). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Integrity impacts).  CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N). (CVE-2024-20932)

    Crypto key may be leaked via debug logging in some cases (CVE-2024-20945)

    Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: Security).  Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u391,     8u391-perf, 11.0.21, 17.0.9, 21.0.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.9, 21.0.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise     Edition: 20.3.12, 21.3.8 and  22.3.4. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker     with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition.  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized     creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK,     Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as  unauthorized access to critical data or     complete access to all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition     accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running     sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g.,     code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not     apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed     by an administrator).
