The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has java-1.8.0-openjdk packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit     component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JNDI).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u171,     7u161, 8u152 and 9.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u151;
    JRockit: R28.3.16. Easily exploitable vulnerability     allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via     multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE     Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks require human     interaction from a person other than the attacker.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of     service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded,     JRockit. Note: This vulnerability applies to client and     server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be     exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications     and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by     supplying data to APIs in the specified Component     without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or     sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web service.
    CVSS 3.0 Base Score 4.3 (Availability impacts). CVSS     Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).
    (CVE-2018-2678)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component     of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: AWT). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u171, 7u161,     8u152 and 9.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u151. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks     require human interaction from a person other than the     attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can     result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial     of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded.
    Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments,     typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and     run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the     internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security.
    This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments,     typically in servers, that load and run only trusted     code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS     3.0 Base Score 4.3 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).
    (CVE-2018-2677)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit     component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Libraries).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u171,     7u161, 8u152 and 9.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u151;
    JRockit: R28.3.16. Easily exploitable vulnerability     allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via     multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE     Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks require human     interaction from a person other than the attacker.

    (CVE-2018-2663)

  - It was discovered that multiple encryption key classes     in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not properly     synchronize access to their internal data. This could     possibly cause a multi-threaded Java application to     apply weak encryption to data because of the use of a     key that was zeroed out. (CVE-2018-2579)

  - It was discovered that the LDAP component of OpenJDK     failed to properly encode special characters in user     names when adding them to an LDAP search query. A remote     attacker could possibly use this flaw to manipulate LDAP     queries performed by the LdapLoginModule class.
    (CVE-2018-2588)

  - It was discovered that the I18n component of OpenJDK     could use an untrusted search path when loading resource     bundle classes. A local attacker could possibly use this     flaw to execute arbitrary code as another local user by     making their Java application load an attacker     controlled class file. (CVE-2018-2602)

  - It was discovered that the DNS client implementation in     the JNDI component of OpenJDK did not use random source     ports when sending out DNS queries. This could make it     easier for a remote attacker to spoof responses to those     queries. (CVE-2018-2599)

  - It was discovered that the Libraries component of     OpenJDK failed to sufficiently limit the amount of     memory allocated when reading DER encoded input. A     remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make a     Java application use an excessive amount of memory if it     parsed attacker supplied DER encoded input.
    (CVE-2018-2603)

  - It was discovered that the JGSS component of OpenJDK     failed to properly handle GSS context in the native GSS     library wrapper in certain cases. A remote attacker     could possibly make a Java application using JGSS to use     a previously freed context. (CVE-2018-2629)

  - It was discovered that the key agreement implementations     in the JCE component of OpenJDK did not guarantee     sufficient strength of used keys to adequately protect     generated shared secret. This could make it easier to     break data encryption by attacking key agreement rather     than the encryption using the negotiated secret.
    (CVE-2018-2618)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component     of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: AWT). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u171, 7u161,     8u152 and 9.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u151. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker     with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require     human interaction from a person other than the attacker     and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE     Embedded, attacks may significantly impact additional     products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can     result in unauthorized creation, deletion or     modification access to critical data or all Java SE,     Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This     vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in     clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or     sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code     (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on     the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does     not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers,     that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code     installed by an administrator). CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.1     (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N).
    (CVE-2018-2641)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component     of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Hotspot). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 8u152 and 9.0.1;
    Java SE Embedded: 8u151. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with     network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java     SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human     interaction from a person other than the attacker.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access     to critical data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded     accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to     client and server deployment of Java. This vulnerability     can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start     applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be     exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified     Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as through     a web service. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.5 (Integrity     impacts). CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).
    (CVE-2018-2582)

  - The JGSS component of OpenJDK ignores the value of the     javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly property when     using HTTP/SPNEGO authentication and always uses global     credentials. It was discovered that this could cause     global credentials to be unexpectedly used by an     untrusted Java application. (CVE-2018-2634)

  - It was discovered that the JMX component of OpenJDK     failed to properly set the deserialization filter for     the SingleEntryRegistry in certain cases. A remote     attacker could possibly use this flaw to bypass intended     deserialization restrictions. (CVE-2018-2637)

  - It was discovered that the LDAPCertStore class in the     JNDI component of OpenJDK failed to securely handle LDAP     referrals. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to     make it fetch attacker controlled certificate data.
    (CVE-2018-2633)
