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 Signed to Unsigned Conversion Error through the use of multiple protocols. An attacker can compromise accessible data and perform unauthorized update, insert, or delete operations by exploiting APIs in the specified component, typically through a web service which supplies data to these APIs.

Note:

This is only exploitable if Java deployments load and run untrusted code from the internet and rely on the Java sandbox for security.
