NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjdk-21-openj9 package and not the openjdk-21-openj9 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Oracle Java SE 7 and earlier, and OpenJDK 7 and earlier, computes hash values without properly restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table, as demonstrated by a universal multicollision attack against the MurmurHash3 algorithm, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2739.
