This kind of change needs to be reviewed by the vulnerability group. I have 
notified the appropriate people internally. This PR should not be integrated 
until you get a clear go ahead from them.

My personal opinion is that one should always try to avoid duplicating/forking 
documentation, so if we are to create a security.md file to populate the 
security tab in GitHub, then it should only contain a link to the official 
documentation on openjdk.org. You also need to keep in mind that this file 
would be unique for every update release repository, so any change would need 
to be backported everywhere. That makes maintaining this kind of information in 
the project source repository quite impractical.
