Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1874-1 advisory.

This update for Java fixes thefollowing issues:

apiguardian was updated to vesion 1.1.2:

- Added LICENSE/NOTICE to the generated jar
- Allow @API to be declared at the package level
- Explain usage of Status.DEPRECATED
- Include OSGi metadata in manifest

assertj-core was implemented at version 3.25.3:

- New package implementation needed by Junit5

byte-buddy was updated to version v1.14.16:

- `byte-buddy` is required by `assertj-core`
- Changes in version v1.14.16:

* Update ASM and introduce support for Java 23.

- Changes in version v1.14.15:

* Allow attaching from root on J9.

- Changes of v1.14.14:

* Adjust type validation to accept additional names that are legal in the class file format.
* Fix dynamic attach on Windows when a service user is active.
* Avoid failure when using Android's strict mode.

dom4j was updated to version 2.1.4:

- Improvements and potentially breaking changes:

* Added new factory method org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.createDefault(). It has more secure defaults than new SAXReader(), which uses system XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader() or SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser().
* If you use some optional dependency of dom4j (for example Jaxen, xsdlib etc.), you need to specify an explicit dependency on it in your project. They are no longer marked as a mandatory transitive dependency by dom4j.
* Following SAX parser features are disabled by default in DocumentHelper.parse() for security reasons (they were enabled in previous versions):

+ http://xml.org/sax/properties/external-general-entities + http://xml.org/sax/properties/external-parameter-entities

- Other changes:

* Do not depend on jtidy, since it is not used during build
* Fixed license to Plexus
* JPMS: Add the Automatic-Module-Name attribute to the manifest.
* Make a separate flavour for a minimal `dom4j-bootstrap` package used to build `jaxen` and full `dom4j`
* Updated pull-parser version
* Reuse the writeAttribute method in writeAttributes
* Support build on OS with non-UTF8 as default charset
* Gradle: add an automatic module name
* Use Correct License Name 'Plexus'
* Possible vulnerability of DocumentHelper.parseText() to XML injection
* CVS directories left in the source tree
* XMLWriter does not escape supplementary unicode characters correctly
* writer.writeOpen(x) doesn't write namespaces
* Fixed concurrency problem with QNameCache
* All dependencies are optional
* SAXReader: hardcoded namespace features
* Validate QNames
* StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in XMLWriter.writeElementContent()
* TreeNode has grown some generics
* QName serialization fix
* DocumentException initialize with nested exception
* Accidentally occurring error in a multi-threaded test
* Added compatibility with W3C DOM Level 3
* Use Java generics

hamcrest:

- `hamcrest-core` has been replaced by `hamcrest` (no source changes)

junit had the following change:

- Require hamcrest >= 2.2

junit5 was updated to version 5.10.2:

- Conditional execution based on OS architectures
- Configurable cleanup mode for @TempDir
- Configurable thread mode for @Timeout
- Custom class loader support for class/method selectors, @MethodSource, @EnabledIf, and @DisabledIf
- Dry-run mode for test execution
- Failure threshold for @RepeatedTest
- Fixed build with the latest open-test-reporting milestone
- Fixed dependencies in module-info.java files
- Fixed unreported exception error that is fatal with JDK 21
- Improved configurability of parallel execution
- New @SelectMethod support in test @Suite classes.
- New ConsoleLauncher subcommand for test discovery without execution
- New convenience base classes for implementing ArgumentsProvider and ArgumentConverter
- New IterationSelector
- New LauncherInterceptor SPI
- New NamespacedHierarchicalStore for use in third-party test engines
- New TempDirFactory SPI for customizing how temporary directories are created
- New testfeed details mode for ConsoleLauncher
- New TestInstancePreConstructCallback extension API
- Numerous bug fixes and minor improvements
- Parameter injection for @MethodSource methods
- Promotion of various experimental APIs to stable
- Reusable parameter resolution for custom extension methods via ExecutableInvoker
- Stacktrace pruning to hide internal JUnit calls
- The binaries are compatible with java 1.8
- Various improvements to ConsoleLauncher
- XML reports in new Open Test Reporting format

jdom:

- Security issues fixed:

* CVE-2021-33813: Fixed an XXE issue in SAXBuilder in JDOM through 2.0.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HTTP request (bsc#1187446)

- Other changes and bugs fixed:

* Fixed wrong entries in changelog (bsc#1224410)
* The packages `jaxen`, `saxpath` and `xom` are now separate standalone packages instead of being part of `jdom`

jaxen was implemented at version 2.0.0:

- New standalone RPM package implementation, originally part of `jdom` source package
- Classpaths are much smaller and less complex, and will suppress a lot of noise from static analysis tools.
- The Jaxen core code is also a little smaller and has fixed a few minor bugs in XPath evaluation
- Despite the major version bump, this should be a drop in replacement for almost every project.
The two major possible incompatibilities are:

* The minimum supported Java version is now 1.5, up from 1.4 in 1.2.0 and 1.3 in 1.1.6.
* dom4j, XOM, and JDOM are now optional dependencies so if a project was depending on them to be loaded transitively it will need to add explicit dependencies to build.

jopt-simple:

- Included jopt-simple to Package Hub 15 SP5 (no source changes)

objectweb-asm was updated to version 9.7:

- New Opcodes.V23 constant for Java 23
- Bugs fixed
* Fixed unit test regression in dex2jar.
* Fixed 'ClassNode#outerClass' with incorrect JavaDocs.
* asm-bom packaging should be 'pom'.
* The Textifier prints a supplementary space at the end of each method that throws at least one exception.

open-test-reporting:

- Included `open-test-reporting-events` and `open-test-reporting-schema` to the channels as they are runtime dependencies of Junit5 (no source changes)

saxpath was implemented at version 1.0 FCS:

- New standalone RPM package implementation, originally part of `jdom` source package (openSUSE Leap 15.5 package only)

xom was implemented at version 1.3.9:

- New standalone RPM package implementation, originally part of `jdom` source package
- The Nodes and Elements classes are iterable so you can use the enhanced for loop syntax on instances of these classes.
- The copy() method is now covariant.
- Adds Automatic-Moduole-Name to jar
- Remove direct dependency on xml-apis:xml-apis artifact since these classes are now available in the core runtime.
- Eliminate usage of com.sun classes to make XOM compatible with JDK 16.
- Replace remaining usages of StringBuffer with StringBuilder to slightly improve performance.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 affected packages.
