Created uimaj tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1572464]

Comment 3 Kurt Seifried 2018-04-27 13:55:17 EDT

Statement:

This issue affects the versions of lucene (which contains an embedded copy of uima) as shipped with Red Hat Satellite 6.0 and 6.1. Red Hat Satellite 6.2 and later do not include lucene and are not vulnerable to this issue.
