The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the January 2022 CPU advisory:

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: 2D).
    Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 7u321, 8u311; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.4 and     21.3.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols     to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result     in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM     Enterprise Edition. Note: This vulnerability 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. This vulnerability can also be exploited by using APIs in     the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. (CVE-2022-21349)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component:
    Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 7u321, 8u311, 11.0.13, 17.01; Oracle GraalVM     Enterprise Edition: 20.3.4 and 21.3.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network     access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of     this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability 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. This vulnerability can also be     exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs.
