IBM Java 7.1 < 7.1.5.31 / 8.0 < 8.0.8.70 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 331296

Synopsis

IBM Java is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is 7.1 prior to 7.1.5.31 / 8.0 prior to 8.0.8.70. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IBM Security Update July 2026 advisory.

- In Eclipse OpenJ9 versions up to 0.60, when executing class files where a previously concrete superclass method has been recompiled as abstract, execution is incorrectly delegated to an interface default method.
(CVE-2026-16441)

- In Eclipse OpenJ9 versions up to 0.60, using -Xtrace to trace method arguments can lead to buffer underflow. (CVE-2026-16439)

- In Eclipse OMR versions up to 0.11, the arraycmp SIMD implementation for Z and P does not check if the number of bytes to compare is zero. (CVE-2026-16243)

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

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the IBM Security Update July 2026 advisory.
