USN-7884-1: OpenJDK 25 vulnerabilities

Jinfeng Guo discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK 25 did not correctly handle certain representations of encoded strings. An unauthenticated remote attacker could possibly use this issue to modify files or leak sensitive information. ( CVE-2025-53057 ) Darius Bohni discovered that the JAXP component of OpenJDK 25 was vulnerable to a XML External Entity (XEE) attack. An unauthenticated remote attacker could possibly use this issue to modify files or leak sensitive information. ( CVE-2025-53066 ) Yakov Shafranovich discovered that the Libraries component of OpenJDK 21 contained an issue where certain Strings built with StringBuilder returned an incorrect result for String.equals() checks. An unauthenticated remote attacker could possibly use this issue to update, insert, or delete accessible data. (
