Ubuntu 22.10: 5897-1 Moderate: OpenJDK Denial of Service

ubuntu
Calendar Grey February 28, 2023
Scroller Ubuntu
A range of security patches target vulnerabilities in OpenJDK across multiple Ubuntu versions, improving the safety of Java applications.
Several security issues were fixed in OpenJDK.

Summary

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)
