Does anyone know why this was only given a CVSS score of 7.5? Based on the description this sounds way worse, but Oracle only gave it a CVSS Confidentiality Score of "None", which doesn't sound right. Is there some mitigating factor that hasn't been discussed?

In terms of OpenJDK 17 (latest LTS), the issue is patched in 17.0.3, which was release ~12h ago. Note that official OpenJDK docker images are still on 17.0.2 as of time of writing.




CVSS is a completely meaningless Ouija board that says whatever the person authoring the score wants it to say.
