Several security issues were fixed in OpenJDK.

Software Description:
- openjdk-8: Open Source Java implementation
- openjdk-lts: Open Source Java implementation

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
