Check the version of java
Vulnerability Insight:
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):
* OpenJDK: insufficient index validation in PatternSyntaxException
getMessage() (Concurrency, 8199547) (CVE-2018-2952)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in
the References section.
Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the icedtea-web package was
installed, the issues exposed via Java applets could have been exploited
without user interaction if a user visited a malicious website.
Bug Fix(es):
* This update applies changes from OpenJDK upstream version 8u172, which
provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version, 8u171.
(BZ#1588364)
* OpenJDK was recently updated to support reading the system certificate
authority database (cacerts) directly. As an unintended consequence, this
removed the ability to read certificates from the user-provided jssecacerts
file. With this update, that ability is restored by reading from that file
first, if available. (BZ#1593737)
Affected Software/OS:
java on CentOS 7
Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
CVSS Score:
