The version of java-1.8.0-openjdk installed on the remote host is prior to 1.8.0.272.b10-1.56. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1460 advisory.

    Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Serialization).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u271, 8u261, 11.0.8 and 15; Java SE Embedded: 8u261.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple     protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded.
    Note: Applies to client and server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through     sandboxed Java Web Start applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying     data to APIs in the specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed     Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 3.7 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L). (CVE-2020-14779)

Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u271, 8u261, 11.0.8 and 15; Java SE Embedded: 8u261. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: Applies to client and server     deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and     sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component     without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web     service. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 3.7 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). (CVE-2020-14781)

    Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u271, 8u261, 11.0.8 and 15; Java SE Embedded: 8u261. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: Applies to     client and server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start     applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the     specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as     through a web service. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 3.7 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). (CVE-2020-14782)

    Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Hotspot). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u271, 8u261, 11.0.8 and 15; Java SE Embedded: 8u261. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other     than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or     delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to     a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: Applies to client and server deployment of     Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and sandboxed Java     applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using     sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.1     Base Score 4.2 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N). (CVE-2020-14792)

    Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u271, 8u261, 11.0.8 and 15; Java SE Embedded: 8u261. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other     than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a     subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments,     typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load     and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for     security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run     only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator).
