How to fix?

Upgrade openjdk-jre to version 8.0.351, 11.0.17, 17.0.5, 19.0.1 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 Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper handling of long NTLM client hostnames. Exploiting this vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert, or deletion access to some accessible data. This vulnerability can also be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service that supplies data to the APIs.

Note This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security.
