05 June 2024 IBM i Security Alert: IBM Java SDK and IBM Java Runtime for IBM i (28/11/2023)

At the end of November 2023, a new security bulletin has been issued for Java packages: IBM Java SDK and IBM Java Runtime for IBM i.

The packages have an unspecified vulnerability ( in Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition, Oracle GraalVM for JDK ) linked to the Libraries component, which could enable a remote attacker to cause minor integrity impacts.

The vulnerability is corrected by applying an IBM i PTF group for Java as described in the “remediation/fixes” section that follows(https://lnkd.in/eM2hEEer) and even if its CVSS index of 3.7 is, admittedly, not very high, we’re still talking about the Java Runtine Environment required for all Java programs to function correctly.
