Fedora 40: Apache Commons High Type Confusion Threat CVE-2024-1938

fedora
Calendar Grey March 7, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
An essential update is now available for Apache Commons Collections on Fedora to fix critical vulnerabilities that affect Java applications using these libraries
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

The introduction of the Collections API by Sun in JDK 1.2 has been a

boon to quick and effective Java programming. Ready access to powerful

data structures has accelerated development by reducing the need for

custom container classes around each core object. Most Java2 APIs are

significantly easier to use because of the Collections API.

However, there are certain holes left unfilled by Sun's

implementations, and the Jakarta-Commons Collections Component strives

to fulfill them. Among the features of this package are:

- special-purpose implementations of Lists and Maps for fast access

- adapter classes from Java1-style containers (arrays, enumerations) to

Java2-style collections.

- methods to test or create typical set-theory properties of collections

such as union, intersection, and closure.
