AlmaLinux 8 : java-17-openjdk (ALSA-2025:10867)

high Nessus Plugin ID 242178

Synopsis

The remote AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2025:10867 advisory.

 * 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 AlmaLinuxand AlmaLinux 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 (AlmaLinux-102668, AlmaLinux-102669, AlmaLinux-102670, AlmaLinux-102672)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the AlmaLinux 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 affected packages.
