  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Kerberos). Supported
    versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u231, 8u221, 11.0.4 and 13; Java SE Embedded: 8u221. Difficult to
    exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via Kerberos to compromise Java
    SE, Java SE Embedded. While the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, attacks may significantly
    impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to
    critical data or complete access to all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This
    vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start
    applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that
    comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can also be
    exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the
    APIs. (CVE-2019-2949)
