The Japanese Information Processing Promotion Agency (IPA) has released a security alert regarding vulnerabilities in Oracle Java SE.

The advisory covers supported Oracle Java SE products and recommends immediate patching to the latest available versions provided by Oracle. The alert was issued on April 20, 2022, with updates through May 6, 2022. Defenders should prioritize applying updates across all affected Java SE installations. Additionally, the advisory notes that Oracle changed its licensing terms for Java releases from April 16, 2019 onward; organizations using Java commercially should verify their licensing compliance and ensure they have appropriate vendor support in place. The IPA provides a MyJVN version checker tool to verify current Java versions against the latest patched releases.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,433 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
