Either patch it yourself, or pay Oracle for a support license.

Anyone who has had any interactions with Oracle before knows this is 100% how they operate.

They’re a machine to strip mine money out of your pockets, and they’re always looking for a new angle.

How is a support license going to help? You’ll still have to fix your own applications yourself, Oracle is certainly not going to do that for you.

Sounds reasonable to me. People who expect free support on an open source product mystify me.

Oracle offers support only for LTS releases. Oracle does not offer support for Java 9 and will not offer support for Java 10.
