The vulnerabilities can be remediated by updating IBM Java that is used by DB2 on your local and remote DB2 V10.5, or V11.1 servers. DB2 does not use the Java installed by the APM server but has its own version of Java. For example, for a local Db2 server, the Db2 version of Java is installed here:

<apm-server-home>/db2/V10.5/java/jdk64
