The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2025:0421 advisory.

    The java-17-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 17 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 17 Java     Software Development Kit.

    Security Fix(es):

    * JDK: Enhance array handling (CVE-2025-21502)

    Bug Fix(es):

    * The Red Hat OpenJDK packages rely on the copy-jdk-configs package to transfer configuration files to a     new updated JDK. The version of this package in RHEL 8.4 has been outdated for some time and contains bugs     that have been fixed in later RHEL versions. With this update, both copy-jdk-configs and the JDK have been     updated to use the latest version of copy-jdk-configs, which has been used for some years on later RHEL     versions (RHEL-73870).

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
