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 does
not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g.,
code installed by an administrator).");

# assumed that only the 17.x branch was affeacted by this flaw as 8 or 11 would have received
# fixes as well.
