high Nessus Plugin ID 272072

Language:

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-2025:18815 advisory.

 * JDK: Enhance Path Factories (CVE-2025-53066)
 * JDK: Enhance Certificate Handling (CVE-2025-53057)


 Bug Fix(es):

 * Since the 8.8 release of AlmaLinuxand the 9.2 release of AlmaLinux OpenJDK 8 has used a single build repackaged for each major AlmaLinux release. With this release, this same build is now also used by the following older releases: 8.2, 8.4, 8.6, and 9.0. On AlmaLinux systems, this means that OpenJDK's FIPS mode will now be enabled by default when the system is in FIPS mode. To revert to the previous behaviour, use -Dcom.AlmaLinux.fips=false (AlmaLinux-118777, AlmaLinux-118778, AlmaLinux-118779, AlmaLinux-118782)

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.
