The flaw (CVE-2020-27221) has a CVSS base score of 9.8 out of 10, making it critical in severity. It stems from an issue in versions 7 and 8 of Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which is used by IBM Integration Designer toolset.
JRE is a software layer that runs on top of a computer’s operating system (OS), and enables Java to run seamlessly on any system regardless of its OS.

GraalVM boosts Java performance with Truffle framework
Java on Truffle in GraalVM 21 brings Java up to snuff with Python, Ruby, and JavaScript on the multi-language virtual machine
GraalVM, an Oracle Labs project providing a multi-language virtual machine, has added experimental support for Java on the Truffle framework, which derives high-performance code from interpreters and allows for efficient running of languages. The move elevates Java to the level of other languages on GraalVM and boosts Java performance.

GraalVM has released major version 21.0 with a new component, Java on Truffle, that provides a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) implementation written in Java. GraalVM is itself a polyglot virtual machine that provides a shared runtime to execute applications written in multiple languages like Java, Python, and JavaScript.
Prior to this release, running Java applications in GraalVM was possible by using the Java HotSpot VM with the GraalVM Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler, or by compiling to a native executable using GraalVM Native Image. With this release, Java on Truffle, a JVM written in Java using the Truffle framework, provides an additional option to run Java applications.

Java on Truffle is introduced in GraalVM 21, which was published on January 19. GraalVM 21 has an installable component, called Espresso, that makes it possible to run Java code via a Java bytecode interpreter implemented with the Truffle framework. In addition to the bytecode interpreter, Java on Truffle provides other core components of a Java virtual machine including a single pass .class file parser, a simple object model, and a Java Native Interface (JNI) implementation. Java 8 and Java 11 are supported.
