Synopsis
IBM Java is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0 < 7.0.11.5 / 7.1 < 7.1.5.5 / 8.0 < 8.0.7.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Oracle January 18 2022 CPU advisory.
  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: Serialization). 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. Difficult to exploit 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.
    (CVE-2022-21248)
  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: ImageIO). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 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 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-2022-21277)
  - 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.
    (CVE-2022-21291, CVE-2022-21305)
  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: Libraries).
