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 Security Checks in the way the TLS implementation in the JSSE component of OpenJDK handled unexpected Certificate messages during the TLS handshake. This could possibly allow an attacker to tamper with certificate verification performed during the handshake.
