FEDORA-EPEL-2023-fc74dc491a

Packages in this update:

java-latest-openjdk-19.0.2.0.7-1.rolling.el9

Update description:

New in release OpenJDK 19.0.2 (2023-01-17)

CVEs Fixed

CVE-2023-21835
CVE-2023-21843

Security Fixes

* JDK-8286070: Improve UTF8 representation
* JDK-8286496: Improve Thread labels
* JDK-8287411: Enhance DTLS performance
* JDK-8288516: Enhance font creation
* JDK-8293554: Enhanced DH Key Exchanges
* JDK-8293598: Enhance InetAddress address handling
* JDK-8293717: Objective view of ObjectView
* JDK-8293734: Improve BMP image handling
* JDK-8293742: Better Banking of Sounds
* JDK-8295687: Better BMP bounds

Major Changes

JDK-8295687: Better BMP bounds

Loading a linked ICC profile within a BMP image is now disabled by default. To re-enable it, set the new system property sun.imageio.bmp.enabledLinkedProfiles to true. This new property replaces the old property, sun.imageio.plugins.bmp.disableLinkedProfiles.

JDK-8293742: Better Banking of Sounds

Previously, the SoundbankReader implementation, com.sun.media.sound.JARSoundbankReader, would download a JAR soundbank from a URL. This behaviour is now disabled by default. To re-enable it, set the new system property jdk.sound.jarsoundbank to true.

JDK-8287411: Enhance DTLS performance

The JDK now exchanges DTLS cookies for all handshakes, new and resumed. The previous behaviour can be re-enabled by setting the new system property jdk.tls.enableDtlsResumeCookie to false.

USN-5832-1: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi) vulnerabilities

Read Time:48 Second

Kyle Zeng discovered that the sysctl implementation in the Linux kernel
contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2022-4378)

Tamás Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation
in the Linux kernel contained multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A
physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42896)

It was discovered that the Xen netback driver in the Linux kernel did not
properly handle packets structured in certain ways. An attacker in a guest
VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (host NIC
availability). (CVE-2022-3643)

It was discovered that an integer overflow vulnerability existed in the
Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. A physically proximate attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
