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

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

- Ubuntu 20.10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

OpenJDK's security restriction could be bypassed when verifying Jar
signatures.

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

attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass intended security
restrictions when using Jar files signed with a disabled algorithm.
