of what you originally wrote. :-)

In my opinion, even defense-in-depth security trumps space savings.

Agreed that it could be considered as a defense-in-depth fix. But, in this case Page data could be huge. I think it was not cloned in first place to avoid copying many big byte[] instances around.

Two points:

1) if Findbugs reports the same issue on JDK9 code, then we want to
   address such that we reduce any Findbugs noise

2) Fixing it could be considered to be a defense-in-depth change.

Well, we can't code for that kind of overrides - Findbugs or any such tool is about normal mode of execution. With that argument, people can override classes using -Xpatch option as well!

Thank you, JB and Sundar. Sundar, would that hold true even if –XaddExports is used ?

If cloning is done to avoid exposing byte[] outside SA, this fix is not needed in jdk9. In jdk9, none of the SA packages are exposed and code outside SA cannot access this. Besides, Page data may be very big - cloning that ever constructor and getter may be too costly.

    Hi Jini,

    'null' seems to be a valid value for 'data' field in both of
    the places you are using 'data.clone()' - you should guard for
    null and call 'clone()' only if the passed in value is non-null.

    Cheers,

    Hi all,

    Please review the fix for the following SA defect (to avoid
