That is Oracle's take.  In reality

No, Oracle  must fix the JRE, or Apple must correct OS X Java system calls. 
Until then, LO for tdf#94716 now requires use of the unaffected JDK -- at
the expense of OS X users now having to install the JDK rather than a broken
JRE to access the Java runtimes.

See Oracle's notes:
http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7131356

The LibreOffice details are in  tdf#74877
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74877>    and  
tdf#94716 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94716>  

LibreOffice has no skin in the game beyond running the Java based HSQLDB 
for Base internal database--and when we fully move to FireBird very little
requirement for Java going forward.  Java runtime -- from a JRE or JDK
becomes irrelevant to the project.
