java-25-openjdk-25.0.3.0.9-1.el9.ML.1

The OpenJDK 25 packages provide the OpenJDK 25 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 25 Java Software Development Kit.

Security Fix(es):

* JDK: Enhance crypto algorithm support (CVE-2026-22007)
* JDK: Improved Arena allocations (CVE-2026-22008)
* JDK: Improve Kerberos credentialing (CVE-2026-22013)
* JDK: Enhance Path Factories Redux (CVE-2026-22016)
* JDK: Enhance Zip file reading (CVE-2026-22018)
* JDK: Enhance certificate chain validation (CVE-2026-22021)
* JDK: Updating FreeType 2.14.1 (CVE-2026-23865)
* JDK: Enhance TLS connection handling (CVE-2026-34282)
* JDK: Enhance key generation (CVE-2026-34268)

This release also updates a number of third-party libraries included in the JDK. The libraries themselves are affected by the following CVEs, but this is not a statement that the JDK itself is affected:

* giflib: Denial of Service via buffer overflow in EGifGCBToExtension (CVE-2026-26740)
* libpng: Information disclosure and denial of service via out-of-bounds read/write in Neon palette expansion (CVE-2026-33636)
* libpng: Arbitrary code execution due to use-after-free vulnerability (CVE-2026-33416)

Bug Fix(es):

* When copying files, OpenJDK 25 prefers to use the copy_file_range native function for performance reasons, only falling back to sendfile when this fails. However, in previous OpenJDK 25 releases, a response of EOPNOTSUPP (operation not supported) did not cause the JDK to fall back to sendfile. This is rectified in this release. (RHEL-169939, RHEL-169937)

CVE-2026-23865
An integer overflow in the tt_var_load_item_variation_store function of the Freetype library in versions 2.13.2 and 2.13.3 may allow for an out of bounds read operation when parsing HVAR/VVAR/MVAR tables in OpenType variable fonts. This issue is fixed in version 2.14.2.
CVE-2026-26740
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in giflib v.5.2.2 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the EGifGCBToExtension overwriting an existing Graphic Control Extension block without validating its allocated size.
CVE-2026-33416
LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable Network Graphics) raster image files. In versions 1.2.1 through 1.6.55, `png_set_tRNS` and `png_set_PLTE` each alias a heap-allocated buffer between `png_struct` and `png_info`, sharing a single allocation across two structs with independent lifetimes. The `trans_alpha` aliasing has been present since at least libpng 1.0, and the `palette` aliasing since at least 1.2.1. Both affect all prior release lines `png_set_tRNS` sets `png_ptr->trans_alpha = info_ptr->trans_alpha` (256-byte buffer) and `png_set_PLTE` sets `info_ptr->palette = png_ptr->palette` (768-byte buffer). In both cases, calling `png_free_data` (with `PNG_FREE_TRNS` or `PNG_FREE_PLTE`) frees the buffer through `info_ptr` while the corresponding `png_ptr` pointer remains dangling. Subsequent row-transform functions dereference and, in some code paths, write to the freed memory. A second call to `png_set_tRNS` or `png_set_PLTE` has the same effect, because both functions call `png_free_data` internally before reallocating the `info_ptr` buffer. Version 1.6.56 fixes the issue.
CVE-2026-33636
LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable Network Graphics) raster image files. In versions 1.6.36 through 1.6.55, an out-of-bounds read and write exists in libpng's ARM/AArch64 Neon-optimized palette expansion path. When expanding 8-bit paletted rows to RGB or RGBA, the Neon loop processes a final partial chunk without verifying that enough input pixels remain. Because the implementation works backward from the end of the row, the final iteration dereferences pointers before the start of the row buffer (OOB read) and writes expanded pixel data to the same underflowed positions (OOB write). This is reachable via normal decoding of attacker-controlled PNG input if Neon is enabled. Version 1.6.56 fixes the issue.
