A large number of the Java CVEs you're thinking of are bugs in the Oracle JVM, meaning they are bugs in C++ code, which is not in a memory-safe language.

- tedunangst 12y agoActually, I think a lot of the CVEs are in the shipped java classes. But it's sometimes hard to tell, with such fine descriptions as Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE 6u85, 7u72, and 8u25 allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Deployment.
