Fedora 40: FEDORA-2024-129d8ca6fc High Objensenis Type Confusion Fix

Change for system JDK from 17 to 21. upstream security release 122.0.6261.94 High CVE-2024-1938: Type Confusion in V8 High CVE-2024-1939: Type Confusion in V8 fixed bug with requires. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2024-129d8ca6fc 2024-03-07 22:24:39.963937 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : objenesis Product : Fedora 40 Version : 3.3 Release : 9.fc40 URL : https://objenesis.org/ Summary : A library for instantiating Java objects Description : Objenesis is a small Java library that serves one purpose: to instantiate a new object of a particular class. Java supports dynamic instantiation of classes using Class.newInstance(); however, this only works if the class has an appropriate constructor. There are many times when a class cannot be instantiated this way, such as when the class contains constructors that require arguments, that have side effects, and/or that throw exceptions. As a result, it is common to see restrictions in libraries stating that classes must require a default constructor. Objenesis aims to overcome these restrictions by bypassing the constructor on object instantiation. Needing to instantiate an object without calling the constructor is a fairly specialized task, however there are certain cases when this is useful: * Serialization, Remoting and Persistence - Objects need to be instantiated and restored to a specific state, without invoking code. * Proxies, AOP Libraries and Mock Objects - Classes can be sub-classed without needing to worry about the super() constructor. * Container Frameworks - Objects can be dynamically instantiated in non-standard ways. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Change for system JDK from 17 to 21. upstream security release 122.0.6261.94 High CVE-2024-1938: Type Confusion in V8 HighCVE-2024-1939: Type Confusion in V8 fixed bug with requires Automatic update for lucene-9.9.2-1.fc40. bump java source/target to 1.8, fixes 2266639 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Mar 2 2024 Jiri Vanek - 3.3-9 - Rebuilt for java-21-openjdk as system jdk * Fri Mar 1 2024 Jiri Vanek - 3.3-8 - bump of release for for java-21-openjdk as system jdk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #2123726 - consoleImageViewer crashes at start https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2123726 [ 2 ] Bug #2261062 - directory-maven-plugin: FTBFS in Fedora rawhide/f40 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2261062 [ 3 ] Bug #2266639 - directory-maven-plugin fails to build with java-21-openjdk https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2266639 [ 4 ] Bug #2266934 - CVE-2024-1938 chromium: type confusion [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2266934 [ 5 ] Bug #2266937 - CVE-2024-1939 chromium: type confusion [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2266937 [ 6 ] Bug #2267486 - Include Java 21 as system Java Change in Fedora 40 Beta https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2267486 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
