class in some situations. An attacker could use this to possibly escape
Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2019-2684)
Mateusz Jurczyk discovered a vulnerability in the 2D component of
OpenJDK. An attacker could use this to possibly escape Java sandbox
restrictions. This issue only affected OpenJDK 8 in Ubuntu 16.04

Mateusz Jurczyk discovered a vulnerability in the font layout engine
of OpenJDK’s 2D component. An attacker could use this to possibly
