Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Oracle JDK and JRE, the worst of which could result in the arbitrary execution of code.

Background

Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) lets you develop and deploy Java applications on desktops and servers, as well as in today's demanding embedded environments. Java offers the rich user interface, performance, versatility, portability, and security that today's applications require.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
dev-java/oracle-jre-bin	<= 1.8.0.202		All supported architectures
dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin	<= 11.0.2		All supported architectures

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Oracle's JDK and JRE software suites. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

Certain uses of untrusted data by Oracle JDK and JRE could result in arbitrary code execution.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

Gentoo has discontinued support for the Oracle JDK and JRE. We recommend that users remove it, and use dev-java/openjdk, dev-java/openjdk-bin, or dev-java/openjdk-jre-bin instead:

          # emerge --ask --depclean "dev-java/oracle-jre-bin"
          # emerge --ask --depclean "dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin"
