Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7096-1 advisory.

 Andy Boothe discovered that the Networking component of OpenJDK 8 did not properly handle access under certain circumstances. An unauthenticated

 attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

 (CVE-2024-21208)

 It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 8 did not properly handle vectorization under certain circumstances. An unauthenticated

 attacker could possibly use this issue to access unauthorized resources

 and expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-21210, CVE-2024-21235)

 It was discovered that the Serialization component of OpenJDK 8 did not

 properly handle deserialization under certain circumstances. An

 unauthenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-21217)

 It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 8 was not properly bounding certain UTF-8 strings, which could lead to a buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21131)

 It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 8 could be made to run into an infinite loop. If an automated system were tricked into processing excessively large symbols, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
 (CVE-2024-21138)

 It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 8 did not properly perform range check elimination. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, execute arbitrary code or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

 (CVE-2024-21140)

 Yakov Shafranovich discovered that the Concurrency component of OpenJDK 8 incorrectly performed header validation in the Pack200 archive format. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This

 issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21144)

 Sergey Bylokhov discovered that OpenJDK 8 did not properly manage memory when handling 2D images. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu

 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21145)

 It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 8 incorrectly handled memory when performing range check elimination under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, execute arbitrary code or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

 (CVE-2024-21147)

 It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 8 incorrectly handled certain exceptions with specially crafted long messages. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
 This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21011)

 Vladimir Kondratyev discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 8 incorrectly handled address offset calculations in the C1 compiler. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21068)

 Yakov Shafranovich discovered that OpenJDK 8 did not properly manage memory in the Pack200 archive format.
 An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21085)

 It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 8 incorrectly handled array accesses in the C2 compiler. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21094)
