Description

The version of OpenJDK installed on the remote host is 8 prior to 8u442 / 11.0.0 prior to 11.0.26 / 17.0.0 prior to 17.0.14 / 21.0.0 prior to 21.0.6 / 24.0.0 prior to 24.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2025-04-15 advisory.

Please Note: Java CVEs do not always include OpenJDK versions, but are confirmed separately by Tenable using the patch versions from the referenced OpenJDK security advisory.

 - A vulnerability was found in the client-libs/2d component of OpenJDK. (CVE-2025-30698)

 - A vulnerability was found in the security-libs/javax.net.ssl component of OpenJDK. (CVE-2025-21587)

 - A vulnerability was found in the hotspot/compiler component of OpenJDK. (CVE-2025-30691)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
