==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Java applets or applications could be made to expose sensitive
information.

Software Description:
- openjdk-lts: Open Source Java implementation

It was discovered that a memory disclosure issue existed in the OpenJDK
Library subsystem. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 18.10:
  openjdk-11-jdk                  11.0.1+13-3ubuntu3.18.10.1
  openjdk-11-jre                  11.0.1+13-3ubuntu3.18.10.1
  openjdk-11-jre-headless         11.0.1+13-3ubuntu3.18.10.1
