Calendar Grey January 18, 2023
Dist Redhat Esm H88
A patch focusing on vulnerabilities within java-17-openjdk for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, designed to strengthen protection measures.
An update for java-17-openjdk is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

Solution

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

All running instances of OpenJDK Java must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Summary

The java-17-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 17 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 17 Java Software Development Kit.
Security Fix(es):
* OpenJDK: handshake DoS attack against DTLS connections (JSSE, 8287411) (CVE-2023-21835)
* OpenJDK: soundbank URL remote loading (Sound, 8293742) (CVE-2023-21843)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Bug Fix(es):
* In FIPS mode, the use of a SQLite database provided by NSS was assumed, which was opened in read-only mode and with no PIN expected. This prevented the use of other databases or setting a PIN on the NSS database. This update allows more control over database use using two new properties - fips.nssdb.path and fips.nssdb.pin - which can be configured permanently in the java.security file or temporarily via command-line arguments to the Java virtual machine (RHBZ#2147473)
* Prepare for the next quarterly OpenJDK upstream release (2023-01, 17.0.6) [rhel-8] (BZ#2153010)
