"Vector API" is universal api for SIMD. It will probably remain in incubator until valhalla delivers value types.

If you are talking about original log4shell then no! Jndi will grab a class definition from ldap, load it and then deserialize it.

    Point[] array=new Point[15000];

In java would create an array with null references, to fill it up you need to create each object so that point is valid.

GreenToad | 8 years ago | on: Java.math.BigDecimal toString is not thread safe

In java lang specs: "A thread that can only see a reference to an object after that object has been completely initialized is guaranteed to see the correctly initialized values for that object's final fields." This makes it a JVM bug because no thread should be able to see uninitialized final fields of an object.
