Fedora 40 Scannotation Advisory: High Threat Resolved for Types Confusion

fedora
Calendar Grey March 7, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The Fedora 40 patch for scannotation addresses critical type confusion vulnerabilities found in V8, transitioning to JDK 21 in the process.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

Scannotation is a Java library that creates an annotation database

from a set of .class files.This database is really just a set of maps that index

what annotations are used and what classes are using them. Why do you need this?

What if you are an annotation framework like an EJB 3.0 container and you want

to automatically scan your classpath for EJB annotations so that you know what

to deploy? Scannotation gives you apis that allow you to find archives in your

classpath or WAR (web application) that you want to scan, then automatically

scans them without loading each and every class within those archives
