  - CVE-2018-2938: Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allowed unauthenticated attacker with network access via     multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of     Java SE (bsc#1101644).

  - CVE-2018-2940: Vulnerability in subcomponent: Libraries.
    Easily exploitable vulnerability allowed unauthenticated     attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks     require human interaction from a person other than the     attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can     result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Java     SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data (bsc#1101645)

  - CVE-2018-2952: Vulnerability in subcomponent:
    Concurrency. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allowed     unauthenticated attacker with network access via     multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE     Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to     cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java     SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit (bsc#1101651)

  - CVE-2018-2973: Vulnerability in subcomponent: JSSE.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allowed     unauthenticated attacker with network access via SSL/TLS     to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     creation, deletion or modification access to critical     data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data     (bsc#1101656)
