How to fix?

Upgrade openjdk-jre to version 11.0.4, 12.0.2 or higher.

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 Sandbox Bypass. The AccessController class implementation in the Security component of OpenJDK failed in certain cases, to consider the current context and correctly restrict privileges based on it. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
