=====================================================================

1. Summary:

The Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8 (java-1.8.0-openjdk) is now available for
portable Linux.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. 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.

2. Description:

The OpenJDK 8 packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and
the OpenJDK 8 Java Software Development Kit.

This release of the Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8 (8u332) for portable Linux
serves as a replacement for Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8 (8u322) and includes
security and bug fixes as well as enhancements. For further information,
refer to the release notes linked to in the References section.

Security Fix(es):

* OpenJDK: Unbounded memory allocation when compiling crafted XPath
expressions (JAXP, 8270504) (CVE-2022-21426)

* OpenJDK: Missing check for negative ObjectIdentifier (Libraries, 8275151)
(CVE-2022-21443)

* OpenJDK: Improper object-to-string conversion in
AnnotationInvocationHandler (Libraries, 8277672) (CVE-2022-21434)

* OpenJDK: Defective secure validation in Apache Santuario (Libraries,
8278008) (CVE-2022-21476)

* OpenJDK: URI parsing inconsistencies (JNDI, 8278972) (CVE-2022-21496)

Bug Fix(es):

* The Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8u322 attempted to use /etc/pki/java/cacerts
as their security certificate database, a change in behaviour from 8u312
where the cacerts database inside the portable build was used. This update
rectifies this situation and again uses the database provided in the JDK
bundle. Users may also now configure the cacerts database in the
java.security file using the property security.systemCACerts. This
functionality may be disabled using the switch
- -Djava.security.disableSystemCACerts=true
