NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjdk-25-openj9 package and not the openjdk-25-openj9 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

In Eclipse OpenJ9 versions up to 0.63.0, the JITServer component is vulnerable to denial of service due to improper boundary checks during protocol message and reply handling. An unauthenticated remote attacker or malicious JITServer can transmit malformed network payloads that cause out-of-bounds heap reads, immediately crashing the JITServer daemon or client JVM process via a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV).
