Zenbleed Patch Release: 7/27/2023 @ 0700 EST
by Jonathan Wright 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

Hi all! There was a flaw announced and patches released that is trivially executable in a large number of AMD environments (CVE-2023-20593). We announced Monday that we had a patch for Zenbleed ready <https://almalinux.org/blog/zenbleed-patch-call-for-testing/> (please read the blog post for full details), but wanted testing. So far we have seen a significant number of users and companies apply the patches with our updated linux-firmware package with no reported problems, and therefore we plan to push the updated package live at 07:00 US eastern time July 27th. If you are at all concerned, we encourage you to test in your own environment and let us know if you find any problems. As a side note: we already have been, but are continuing to discuss the right way to handle this in a sustainable way going forward. If you have interest in being part of that solution, join our chat and keep an eye out for when we start to build those structures, and make sure to join us at the AlmaLinux OS Foundation <https://almalinux.org/members/>. -- Jonathan Wright AlmaLinux Foundation Mattermost: chat <https://chat.almalinux.org/almalinux/messages/@jonathan>

Hi, You are receiving an AlmaLinux Security update email because you subscribed to receive errata notifications from AlmaLinux. AlmaLinux: 8 Type: Security Severity: Moderate Release date: 2023-07-21 Summary: The java-11-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 11 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 11 Java Software Development Kit. Security Fix(es): * OpenJDK: ZIP file parsing infinite loop (8302483) (CVE-2023-22036) * OpenJDK: weakness in AES implementation (8308682) (CVE-2023-22041) * OpenJDK: improper handling of slash characters in URI-to-path conversion (8305312) (CVE-2023-22049) * harfbuzz: OpenJDK: O(n^2) growth via consecutive marks (CVE-2023-25193) * OpenJDK: HTTP client insufficient file name validation (8302475) (CVE-2023-22006) * OpenJDK: array indexing integer overflow issue (8304468) (CVE-2023-22045) 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): * Installing the same java-17-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-17-openjdk-headless package. This prevented the use of the dynamic dump feature, as the checksum in the archive would be different on each system. This is resolved in this release by using the .jsa files generated during the initial build.
