Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3830-1
November 28, 2018
openjdk-8, openjdk-lts regression
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
USN-3804-1 introduced a regression in OpenJDK.
Software Description:
- openjdk-lts: Open Source Java implementation
- openjdk-8: Open Source Java implementation
Details:
USN-3804-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenJDK. Unfortunately, that update
introduced a regression when validating JAR files that prevented Java

fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
