    For know security issues please have a look at VERITAS SECURITY ALERTS :

    https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/security

    Just because a Java version is vulnerable, Veritas may use Java in a way where the vulnerability cannot be exploited.

    I general, the Netbackup Java runtime is not customer upgradable.

    You can either:

    1. Upgrade to a later version of Netbackup, where the java vulnerable has been fixed.
    2. If the vulnerabilities is serious enough, download a  EEB where the issues has been fixed. That may be either public downloadable EBB, "private" EBB you only can obtain thru Veritas Support
