Overview

openjdk-jre is a free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE).

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Permissions. It was discovered that the Libraries component of OpenJDK failed to perform permission check when converting file system paths to URI in UnixUriUtils and WindowsUriSupport classes. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
