Fedora 40 advisory regarding critical type confusion vulnerabilities in JOL, along with specifics on the system JDK enhancements.

Summary

JOL (Java Object Layout) is a tiny toolbox to analyze Java object

layouts. These tools use Unsafe, JVMTI, and Serviceability Agent (SA)

heavily to decode the actual object layout, footprint, and references.

This makes JOL much more accurate than other tools relying on heap dumps,

specification assumptions, etc.
