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 Covert Timing Channel in the security-libs/java.security component. An attacker can recover ciphertexts via a side-channel attack by exploiting the Marvin security flaw.
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. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator).
