The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2025:0422 advisory.

    The java-17-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 17 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 17 Java     Software Development Kit.

    Security Fix(es):

    * JDK: Enhance array handling (CVE-2025-21502)

    Bug Fix(es):

    * The Red Hat OpenJDK packages rely on the copy-jdk-configs package to transfer configuration files to a     new updated JDK. With this update, the JDK has been updated to use the latest version of copy-jdk-configs,     which has been used for some years on later RHEL versions (RHEL-73867, RHEL-73871, RHEL-73872).
