RHEL 8 / 9 : java-17-openjdk (RHSA-2025:10867)

high Nessus Plugin ID 242142

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for java-17-openjdk.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2025:10867 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: Better Glyph drawing (CVE-2025-30749)
* JDK: Enhance TLS protocol support (CVE-2025-30754)
* JDK: Improve HTTP client header handling (CVE-2025-50059)
* JDK: Better Glyph drawing redux (CVE-2025-50106)

Bug Fix(es):

* In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 systems, the default graphical display system is Wayland. The use of Wayland in these systems causes a failure in the traditional X11 method that java.awt.Robot uses to take a screen capture, producing a blank image. With this update, the RPM now recommends installing the PipeWire package, which the JDK can use to take screen captures in Wayland systems (RHEL-102668, RHEL-102669, RHEL-102670, RHEL-102672)

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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL java-17-openjdk package based on the guidance in RHSA-2025:10867.
