Several security issues were fixed in OpenJDK.
Software Description:
- openjdk-17: Open Source Java implementation
- openjdk-19: Open Source Java implementation
- openjdk-lts: Open Source Java implementation
Details:
Juraj Somorovsky, Marcel Maehren, Nurullah Erinola, and Robert Merget
discovered that the DTLS implementation in the JSSE subsystem of OpenJDK
did not properly restrict handshake initiation requests from clients. A
remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-21835)
Markus Loewe discovered that the Java Sound subsystem in OpenJDK did not
properly validate the origin of a Soundbank. An attacker could use this to
specially craft an untrusted Java application or applet that could load a
Soundbank from an attacker controlled remote URL. (CVE-2023-21843)
