Red Hat alert RHSA-2023:5752-01 (java-17-openjdk)

An update for java-17-openjdk is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
9.0 Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of
Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The java-17-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 17 Java Runtime Environment
and the OpenJDK 17 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es):

* OpenJDK: memory corruption issue on x86_64 with AVX-512 (8317121)
(CVE-2023-22025)

* OpenJDK: certificate path validation issue during client authentication
(8309966) (CVE-2023-22081)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* Additional validity checks in the handling of Zip64 files, JDK-8302483,
were introduced in the 17.0.8 release of OpenJDK, causing the use of some
valid zip files to now fail with an error. This release, 17.0.9, allows for
zero-length headers and additional padding produced by some Zip64 creation
tools. With both releases, the checks can be disabled using
-Djdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation=true. (RHBZ#2237186)

* A maximum signature file size property, jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize, was
introduced in the 17.0.8 release of OpenJDK by JDK-8300596, with a default of
8 MB. This default proved to be too small for some JAR files. This release,
17.0.9, increases it to 16 MB.

* Installing the same java-17-openjdk-headless package on two different
systems resulted in distinct classes.jsa files getting generated. This was
because the CDS archive was being generated by a post script action of the
java-17-openjdk-headless package. This prevented the use of the dynamic dump
feature, as the checksum in the archive would be different on each system.
This is resolved in this release by using the .jsa files generated during the
initial build. (RHEL-13169)

* The /usr/bin/jfr alternative is now owned by the java-17-openjdk package
(RHEL-13647)

* The jcmd tool is now provided by the java-17-openjdk-headless package,
rather than java-17-openjdk-devel, to make it more accessible (RHEL-13650)
