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 Improper Validation. A flaw was found in the way the FtpClient implementation in the Networking component of OpenJDK handled responses to the FTP PASV command. A malicious FTP server could cause a Java application using FtpClient to connect to a host and port that is not accessible from the FTP server and perform port scanning or banner extraction.
