How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 java-17-openjdk.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream java-17-openjdk package and not the java-17-openjdk package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability exists in the inftrees.c component of the zlib library, which is bundled within the PointCloudLibrary (PCL). This issue may allow context-dependent attackers to cause undefined behavior by exploiting improper pointer arithmetic.

Since version 1.14.0, PCL by default uses a zlib installation from the system, unless the user sets WITH_SYSTEM_ZLIB=FALSE. So this potential vulnerability is only relevant if the PCL version is older than 1.14.0 or the user specifically requests to not use the system zlib.
