Solution Unverified - Updated

# Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (25.342-b07 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# C  [libzip.so+0x4c59]  readCEN+0x8e9

C  [libzip.so+0x4c59]  readCEN+0x8e9
C  [libzip.so+0x5eb0]  ZIP_Put_In_Cache0+0x120
C  [libzip.so+0x3b77]  Java_java_util_zip_ZipFile_open+0xf7

Resolution

Address the application or operations use case resulting in the zipped file being modified/overwritten outside of the current thread, or work around the issue by disabling memory mapping in ZipFile with -Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true (at the cost of some loss in performance) or Content from bugs.openjdk.org is not included.upgrade to JDK 11.
