CVE-2021-35603: Medium severity ibm infosphere guardium z/os vulnerability
An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the JSSE component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information resulting in a low confidentiality impact using unknown attack vectors.
Other sources
It was discovered that the TLS implementation in the JSSE component of OpenJDK used non-constant comparisons when checking various data (such as session identifiers or verification data blocks) during TLS handshakes. A malicious TLS client could possibly use this flaw to recover that data by observing timing differences in processing of various inputs.
