Java and Oracle Database CVE's

Oleh LeontOct 28 2021

Hello.
Hope Oracle team will help me with a few questions about Oracle Database/Oracle Database Client and Java inside it, because i need it official.
As I understand Java is a component in Oracle Database/Oracle Database software.
We have Oracle Database Client 19c installed and separately installed Java 8_275 on the host. Then we identified that on the location of Oracle Database Client 19c (/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/client_1/jdk/bin/java) Java version is 8_201 and it's likely vilnerable to such CVE's:
CVE-2020-14664
CVE-2020-14583
CVE-2020-14593
CVE-2020-14562
CVE-2020-14621
CVE-2020-14556
CVE-2020-14573
CVE-2020-14581
CVE-2020-14578
CVE-2020-14579
CVE-2020-14577
In my opinion if the component is vulnerable then the software is vulnerable and the host is vulnerable too.
But by the official article (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2020.html)) only Java itself is vulnerable to this CVE's.
So the main question - is the Java inside Oracle Database or Oracle Database Client vulnerable to listed CVE's and is the host vulnerable to listed CVE's?
