  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE
    (component: Security). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u341, 8u345-perf,
    11.0.16.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.7, 21.3.3 and 22.2.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability
    allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM
    Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a
    partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Note: This
    vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start
    applications or sandboxed Java applets, 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.
