For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

  • Native code within the OpenJDK code base attempted to call close() on a file descriptor repeatedly if it returned the error code, EINTR. However, the close() native call is not restartable and this caused the virtual machine to crash. The close() call is now only made once. (RHBZ#2159458)
