Airport. A permissions issue was addressed with improved redaction of sensitive information.
A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9+ may be vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment. If the application is deployed as a Spring Boot executable jar, i.e. the default, it is not vulnerable to the exploit. However, the nature of the vulnerability is more general, and there may be other ways to exploit it.

It was discovered that the Scripting component of OpenJDK did not properly restrict access to scripting engine via Global object's engine variable when using Security Manager or class filtering. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the RMI registry and DCG (Distributed Garbage Collector) implementations in the RMI component of OpenJDK performed deserialization of untrusted inputs. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of RMI registry or a Java RMI application.
An insecure class construction flaw, related to the incorrect handling of exception stack frames, was found in the Hotspot component of OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the atomic field updaters in the in the java.util.concurrent.atomic package in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not properly restrict access to protected field members. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

It was discovered that the RMI (Java Remote Method Invocation) server implementation in the JMX (Java Management Extensions) component of OpenJDK did not restrict which classes can be deserialized when deserializing authentication credentials. A remote unauthenticated attacker able to connect to a JMX port could possibly use this flaw trigger deserialization flaws.
It was discovered that the JPEG decoder in the AWT component of OpenJDK did not use correct buffer boundary in certain cases when decoding JPEG files. A specially crafted JPEG file could cause a Java application to corrupt its memory and possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. An untrusted Java application or applet could also use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
Integer signedness issues were discovered in IndicRearrangementProcessor and IndicRearrangementProcessor2 in the ICU Layout Engine. A specially crafted font file could cause an application using ICU to parse untrusted fonts to crash and, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
ICU code is embedded the 2D component in OpenJDK and used by FontManager. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with Java Virtual Machine privileges and bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the ObjectStreamClass in the Serialization component of OpenJDK failed to ensure that the object is fully initialized before allowing calls of certain methods. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the DGCImpl (for RMI distributed garbage-collection - DGC) class in the RMI component of OpenJDK failed to use restricted access control context when processing untrusted input. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the DGCClient (for RMI distributed garbage-collection - DGC) class in the RMI component of OpenJDK failed to use restricted access control context when handling JRMP (Java Remote Method Protocol) messages. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that ICU Layout Engine was missing multiple boundary and error return checks. These could lead to buffer overflows and memory corruption. A specially crafted font file could cause an application using ICU to parse untrusted fonts to crash and, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
ICU code is embedded the 2D component in OpenJDK and used by FontManager. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with Java Virtual Machine privileges and bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
Multiple integer overflow issues were found in the implementation of Buffers in the java.nio (Non-blocking I/O) packages in the Libraries component of OpenJDK. These could lead to out of bounds buffer access and Java Virtual Machine memory corruption. An untursted Java application or applet could use these flaws to run arbitrary code with the Java Virtual Machine privileges or bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the IIOPInputStream class in the CORBA component of OpenJDK failed to properly check object and field types during object deserialization. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the StubGenerator class in the CORBA component of OpenJDK failed to generate code with all needed permission checks related to object (de-)serialization. An untursted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
