  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Networking).
    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 multiple
    protocols 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 creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or 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-2019-2989)
