AlmaLinux 9 : java-1.8.0-openjdk (ALSA-2025:10862)

high Nessus Plugin ID 242440

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2025:10862 advisory.

 * JDK: Better Glyph drawing (CVE-2025-30749)
 * JDK: Enhance TLS protocol support (CVE-2025-30754)
 * JDK: Improve scripting supports (CVE-2025-30761)
 * JDK: Better Glyph drawing redux (CVE-2025-50106)


 Bug Fix(es):

 * On certain system configurations where the IPv4 stack was preferred over IPv6 (either due to
 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true being specified or no IPv6 interfaces being present), the method java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() would return the fully qualified hostname instead of the short hostname. This behavior was only ever intended for Solaris systems and it deviated from the method's behavior for IPv6 interfaces. In this release, the method will return the short hostname on all interfaces. (AlmaLinux-102904, AlmaLinux-102905, AlmaLinux-102906, AlmaLinux-102907, AlmaLinux-102908, AlmaLinux-102909, AlmaLinux-102910, AlmaLinux-102911, AlmaLinux-102912)

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.
