How to fix?

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 Command Injection. It was discovered that the implementation of ProcessBuilder in the Libraries component of OpenJDK on the Windows platform did not properly detect command arguments that were not quoted correctly. This could lead to manipulation of command arguments when executing processes with arguments from untrusted sources.
