Amazon Corretto Java 11.x < 11.0.26.4.1 Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 214445

Synopsis

Amazon Corretto is affected a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Amazon Corretto installed on the remote host is 11 prior to 11.0.26.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the corretto-11-2025-Jan-21 advisory.

 - Versions of the package fastecdsa before 2.3.2 are vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Variable on the stack, via the curvemath_mul function in src/curveMath.c, due to being used and interpreted as user- defined type. Depending on the variable's actual value it could be arbitrary free(), arbitrary realloc(), null pointer dereference and other. Since the stack can be controlled by the attacker, the vulnerability could be used to corrupt allocator structure, leading to possible heap exploitation. The attacker could cause denial of service by exploiting this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-21502)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to Amazon Corretto Java 11.0.26.4.1 or later
