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 Input Validation due to a range check loop optimization issue in the hotspot/compiler component. An attacker can obtain sensitive information without authorization by exploiting the improper input validation.
Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also 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.
