Upgrade openjdk-jre to version 11.0.4 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 Side-channel attack. The Elliptic Curve (EC) cryptography in the Security component of OpenJDK was modernized to use formulas that are more efficient, easier to implement, and offer greater resiliency against side-channel attacks (timing or cache).
