Recommended fix High confidence

Oracle Java SE 8u381+ / 11.0.20+ / 17.0.8+ / 20.0.2+ (or Oracle GraalVM versions from July 2023 CPU or later)

  1. 1. Identify the current installed Java/JDK version using 'java -version' or 'java -fullversion'
  2. 2. For Oracle Java SE 8u371-perf: upgrade to Oracle Java SE 8u381 or later
  3. 3. For Oracle Java SE 11.0.19: upgrade to Oracle Java SE 11.0.20 or later
  4. 4. For Oracle Java SE 17.0.7: upgrade to Oracle Java SE 17.0.8 or later
  5. 5. For Oracle Java SE 20.0.1: upgrade to Oracle Java SE 20.0.2 or later
  6. 6. For Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 20.3.10/21.3.6/22.3.2: upgrade to respective versions released after July 2023 CPU
  7. 7. For Oracle GraalVM for JDK 17.0.7/20.0.1: upgrade to versions released after July 2023 CPU
  8. 8. Verify the installation by running 'java -version' to confirm the updated version
Caveat Upgrading Java versions may introduce compatibility issues with existing applications; test thoroughly before production deployment
