The historic spec allows for both SecurityException and IOException (but

Locked-down systems typically (but not necessarily) have a SecurityManager
that helps enforce the restrictions and so SecurityException seems vaguely
appropriate.
There are a small number of places where SecurityException is thrown
when not running with a security manager (defineClass, package sealing)
but it can be confusing for developers to get this exception when there
isn't a Java security manager. So I don't think we should be using it here.
