- CVE-2018-2973: the JSSE sub-component contained a difficult to exploit vulnerability allowed attackers to compromise Java SE or Java SE Embedded over the network, potentially gaining the ability to create, delete or modify critical data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data without authorization. [bsc#1101656] Furthemore, the following bugs were fixed :

- Properly remove the existing alternative for java before reinstalling it. [bsc#1096420]
