"The version of OpenJDK installed on the remote host is 8 prior to 8u422 / 11.0.0 prior to 11.0.24 / 17.0.0 prior to
17.0.12 / 21.0.0 prior to 21.0.4 / 23.0.0 prior to 23.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the 2024-10-15 advisory.
Please Note: Java CVEs do not always include OpenJDK versions, but are confirmed separately by Tenable using the patch
versions from the referenced OpenJDK security advisory.
- Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of
Oracle Java SE (component: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u421,
8u421-perf, 11.0.24, 17.0.12, 21.0.4, 23; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.12, 21.0.4, 23; Oracle GraalVM
Enterprise Edition: 20.3.15 and 21.3.11. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated
attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK,
Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM
Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Java SE,
Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can be
exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the
APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web
Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from
the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. (CVE-2024-21235)
- Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of
Oracle Java SE (component: Networking). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u421,
8u421-perf, 11.0.24, 17.0.12, 21.0.4, 23; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.12, 21.0.4, 23; Oracle GraalVM
Enterprise Edition: 20.3.15 and 21.3.11. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated
attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK,
Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK,
Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in
clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run
untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This
vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted
code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). (CVE-2024-21208)
- Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java
SE: 8u421, 8u421-perf, 11.0.24, 17.0.12, 21.0.4 and 23. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows
unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE.

sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and
rely on the Java sandbox for security. (CVE-2024-21210)
- Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of
Oracle Java SE (component: Serialization). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u421,
8u421-perf, 11.0.24, 17.0.12, 21.0.4, 23; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.12, 21.0.4, 23; Oracle GraalVM
Enterprise Edition: 20.3.15 and 21.3.11. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated
