medium Nessus Plugin ID 214643

Synopsis

The remote AlmaLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2025:0422 advisory.

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


 Bug Fix(es):

 * The AlmaLinux 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 AlmaLinux versions (AlmaLinux-73867, AlmaLinux-73871, AlmaLinux-73872).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the AlmaLinux 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.
