How to fix?

Upgrade openjdk-jre to version 7.0.331, 8.0.321, 11.0.14, 17.0.2 or higher.

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 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling. A flaw was found in the way the BMPImageReader class implementation in the ImageIO performs memory allocations when reading palette information from BMP images. A specially-crafted BMP file could cause a Java application to consume an excessive amount of memory when opened.
