Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 15 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an official security update for java-17-openjdk packages addressing these vulnerabilities. Users should apply this update promptly, ensuring all previously released errata are installed beforehand. Detailed update instructions are available in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:10867. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official patch.

Description

Security updates have been released for the java-17-openjdk packages addressing multiple vulnerabilities including issues with glyph drawing, TLS protocol support, and HTTP client header handling. These updates also fix a bug related to screen capture functionality on Wayland graphical systems in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and 10. The update is rated as important by Red Hat Product Security and affects various Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 versions. Users are advised to apply the update following Red Hat's guidance.

Impact

The vulnerabilities fixed include graphical rendering issues, TLS protocol support weaknesses, and HTTP client header handling flaws, which could potentially affect the security and stability of Java applications running on affected systems. The bug fix improves functionality on Wayland graphical systems, preventing blank screen captures. Red Hat rates the security impact as Important, indicating a high severity but no known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Summary

The java-17-openjdk packages for OpenJDK 17 have multiple security fixes: CVE-2025-30749 and CVE-2025-50106 address glyph drawing improvements; CVE-2025-30754 enhances TLS protocol support; CVE-2025-50059 improves HTTP client header handling. Additionally, a bug fix addresses the failure of java.awt.Robot screen capture on Wayland systems by recommending the PipeWire package. The update affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 distributions and related variants. Red Hat has issued an advisory (RHSA-2025:10867) detailing these fixes and recommends applying the update after ensuring all prior errata are applied.

CWE-122Heap-based Buffer Overflow (opens in a new tab)
Variant weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #16
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
Pre-design: Use a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.
Architecture and Design
Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…

Requirements
Specify which data in the software should be regarded as sensitive. Consider which types of users should have access to which types of data.
Implementation
Ensure that any possibly sensitive data specified in the requirements is verified with designers to ensure that it is either a calculated risk or mitigated elsewhere.
