The version of java-1.8.0-openjdk installed on the remote host is prior to 1.8.0.265.b01-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1491 advisory.

    Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251. 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 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 4.8 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector:

    Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261 and 8u251; Java SE Embedded: 8u251. 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.

    Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261, 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251.
    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 and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, attacks may     significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover     of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. 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). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability     impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H). (CVE-2020-14583)
