@GoeLin done, will duplicate it here:
- Issue affects 11/17 version as well
- Should be no risk as it only fixes the SIGSEGV without changing any real logic, see the discussion: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/8962#issuecomment-1145878329
- Backports cleanly
- Tested by the same reproducer from ticket description
