        Description:
            It was discovered that the implementation of the BasicAttribute
            class in OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when
            creating object instance from a serialized form. A specially-crafted
            serialized input stream could cause JVM to consume an excessive
            amount of memory.
