  - In Apache Derby 10.3.1.4 to 10.14.1.0, a specially-crafted network packet can be used to request the Derby
    Network Server to boot a database whose location and contents are under the user's control. If the Derby
    Network Server is not running with a Java Security Manager policy file, the attack is successful. If the
    server is using a policy file, the policy file must permit the database location to be read for the attack
    to work. The default Derby Network Server policy file distributed with the affected releases includes a
    permissive policy as the default Network Server policy, which allows the attack to work. (CVE-2018-1313)
