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 Attributes class in the Libraries component performs reading of attributes with very long values from the JAR file manifests. A specially-crafted JAR archive could cause a Java application reading its manifest to use an excessive amount of system resources and hang.
