Yeah.

There was a longish IRC discussion yesterday, it simply boils down to
backporting the follow-up commit they did for 11 also to the 8 package
which has only the initial fix.
Trying to fix this via stable-proposed-updates in LibreOffice could
theoretically be possible but it would be a big change in every jar
LibreOffice ships and also then sit in proposed-updates until whenever
the next stable update is. Thus I think openjdk should get a regression
update via -security.
But that's in the realm of the security team and the openjdk
maintainers, not mine...
