notifications from AlmaLinux.

Type: Security
Severity: Moderate
Release date: 2025-10-30

Summary:

The java-1.8.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 8
Java Software Development Kit.  

Security Fix(es):  

  * 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)
