CVE-2024-21235  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade openjdk-jre to version 8.0.431, 11.0.25, 17.0.13, 21.0.5, 22.0.1 or higher.

Overview

openjdk-jre is a free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE).

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the Hotspot component. An attacker with network access via multiple protocols can compromise the integrity and confidentiality of data by exploiting accessible APIs, particularly through web services that supply data to these APIs.

Note:

This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security.
