Certain uses of untrusted data by Oracle JDK and JRE could result in arbitrary code execution.
There is no known workaround at this time.
Gentoo has discontinued support for the Oracle JDK and JRE. We recommend that users remove it, and use dev-java/openjdk, dev-java/openjdk-bin, or dev-java/openjdk-jre-bin instead:
# emerge --ask --depclean "dev-java/oracle-jre-bin" # emerge --ask --depclean "dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin"
