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 Information Disclosure. It was discovered that the LDAP client implementation in the JNDI component of OpenJDK did not properly track whether a connection to a server uses TLS encryption, and consequently did not properly restrict the set of authentication mechanisms that were allowed to be used over an unencrypted connection. This could possibly lead to sending of plain text authentication credentials over an unencrypted connection.
