A section of Java code with a data race can’t break anything that the same section of code couldn’t have been rewritten to intentionally break without using a data race. For example: it might throw an exception, loop infinitely, or return valid values that the programmer didn’t expect; but it cannot corrupt the internal state of the JVM, violate type-safety, fiddle with private fields, or access data that isn’t reachable from its own variables. Data races cannot be used to violate a security barrier between mutually untrusting sections of Java code.
