Title:Oracle OpenJDK ECDSA Signatures Vulnerability (CVE-2022-21449)
Summary:Oracle OpenJDK is prone to vulnerability in the implementation; of ECDSA signature verification (Component: security-libs/java.security).
Description:Summary:
Oracle OpenJDK is prone to vulnerability in the implementation
of ECDSA signature verification (Component: security-libs/java.security).

Vulnerability Insight:
The implementation of ECDSA signature verification didn't check
if the two values r or s within an ECDSA signature were zero, so you could produce a signature
value in which they are both 0 (appropriately encoded) and Java would accept it as a valid
signature for any message and for any public key.

Please seee the referenced 'Psychic Signatures in Java' blog post for more technical background
info.

Affected Software/OS:
Oracle OpenJDK versions 15, 17 and 18.

Solution:
The vendor has released updates. Please see the references for
more information.

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
