UBUNTU-CVE-2026-91334: Low severity ubuntu/openjdk-8 vulnerability
Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: ImageIO). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1, 27; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.19.1.1. 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 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. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 3.7 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ubuntu packages should be included in an exposure inventory?
Review deployments of ubuntu/openjdk-8, ubuntu/openjdk-lts, ubuntu/openjdk-17, ubuntu/openjdk-21, ubuntu/openjdk-17-crac, ubuntu/openjdk-21-crac, ubuntu/openjdk-9, and ubuntu/openjdk-13.
Does a network-accessible Java service need a specific condition to be exposed?
The issue can be reached when a service supplies attacker-controlled data to the affected ImageIO APIs, such as through a web service. It may also affect client deployments that run untrusted code in sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets.
What is the expected impact if exploitation succeeds?
Successful exploitation permits unauthorized read access to a subset of data accessible to the affected Java or GraalVM deployment. The provided CVSS vector indicates confidentiality impact only, with no integrity or availability impact.
