AlmaLinux: 9
Type: Security
Severity: Moderate
Release date: 2023-11-14

Summary:

The java-21-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 21 Java Runtime Environment 
and the OpenJDK 21 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 21.0.0 release of OpenJDK, causing the use of some valid zip 
files to now fail with an error. This release, 21.0.1, 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.
* A maximum signature file size property, jdk.jar.maxSignatureFileSize, was 
introduced in the 20.0.0 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, 
20.0.1, increases it to 16 MB. (AlmaLinux-14954)
* When Transparent Huge Pages (THP) are unconditionally enabled on a system, 
Java applications using many threads were found to have a large Resident Set 
Size (RSS). This was due to a race between the kernel transforming thread stack 
memory into huge pages and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) shattering these 
pages into smaller ones when adding a guard page. This release resolves this 
issue by getting glibc to insert a guard page and prevent the creation of huge 
pages. (AlmaLinux-14962)
* Installing the same java-21-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-21-openjdk-headless package. This prevented the use of the dynamic dump 
feature, because the checksum in the archive would be different on each system. 
This release resolves this issue by using the .jsa files generated during the 
initial build. (AlmaLinux-14946)
* The /usr/bin/jfr alternative is now owned by the java-21-openjdk package. 
(AlmaLinux-14959)
* The jcmd tool is now provided by the java-21-openjdk-headless package, rather 
than java-21-openjdk-devel, to make it more accessible. (AlmaLinux-14948)
