"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7098-1 advisory.

    Andy Boothe discovered that the Networking component of OpenJDK 17 did not properly handle access under
    certain circumstances. An unauthenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
    service. (CVE-2024-21208)

    It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 17 did not properly handle vectorization under
    certain circumstances. An unauthenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to access unauthorized
    resources and expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-21210, CVE-2024-21235)

    It was discovered that the Serialization component of OpenJDK 17 did not properly handle deserialization
    under certain circumstances. An

    unauthenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial

    of service. (CVE-2024-21217)

    It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 17 was not properly bounding certain UTF-8
    strings, which could lead to a buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
    denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2024-21131)

    It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 17 could be made to run into an infinite loop. If
    an automated system were tricked into processing excessively large symbols, an attacker could possibly use
    this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2024-21138)

    It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 17 did not properly perform range check
    elimination. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, execute arbitrary
    code or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2024-21140)

    Sergey Bylokhov discovered that OpenJDK 17 did not properly manage memory when handling 2D images. An
    attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue was only addressed in
    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21145)

    It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 17 incorrectly handled memory when performing
    range check elimination under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
    denial of service, execute arbitrary code or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. This issue was only
    addressed in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-21147)
