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 Information Exposure. The XMLEntityManager class implementation in the JAXP component doesn't properly perform access checks. A Java application using a SAX XML parser in certain configurations could be tricked into disclosing information when parsing a specially-crafted XML file.
