A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 19.10
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary
Several security issues were fixed in OpenJDK.
Software Description
- openjdk-8 – Open Source Java implementation
- openjdk-lts – Open Source Java implementation
Details
It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly handled exceptions during
deserialization in BeanContextSupport. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact.
(CVE-2020-2583)
It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly validated properties of SASL
messages included in Kerberos GSSAPI. An unauthenticated remote attacker
with network access via Kerberos could possibly use this issue to insert,
modify or obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2020-2590)
It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly validated URLs. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to insert, edit or obtain sensitive
information. (CVE-2020-2593)
It was discovered that OpenJDK Security component still used MD5 algorithm.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive

certificates. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial
of service. (CVE-2020-2654)
Bengt Jonsson, Juraj Somorovsky, Kostis Sagonas, Paul Fiterau Brostean and
