Threat Intelligence Database

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified in the java-1.8.0-openjdk packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. These include issues such as a long exception message causing a crash, integer overflow in the C1 compiler address generation, excessive memory allocation in Pack200, and a compilation failure in the C2 compiler. Red Hat has released an update addressing these vulnerabilities. The update requires restarting all running OpenJDK Java instances to take effect. The security impact is rated as moderate.

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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and the 9.2 release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, OpenJDK 8 has used a single build repackaged for each major Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 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.redhat.fips=false (RHEL-118777, RHEL-118778, RHEL-118779, RHEL-118782) 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.
