Ok. MediathekView in Stretch only uses JavaFX to create some better
integrated Panel messages or to improve performance. If I read the
advisory correctly CVE-2018-2941 affects Java Web Start or Java applets
but MediathekView is a desktop application and doesn't use those
classes, so I believe it cannot be exploited. Ignored for Stretch makes
sense.

Cheers,

No, unfortunately it's the same "we fix, but don't tell" bullshit policy
as with all other Oracle products.

Given that mediathekview is our only reverse dependency in stretch we
can probably mark it as ignored for stretch anyway?

We have recently upgraded OpenJFX to version 11. It is not listed as a
vulnerable version in Oracle's security advisory. I presume if it has
been vulnerable they would have fixed it in OpenJFX 11 too by now. Do
you have more information about this vulnerability because I can't find
any details on the web.
