When running with ubsan - enabled binaries, the following 2 issues are observed in jvmti.h (on macOS aarch64).

So the problem reported is SetVerboseFlag method (which is part of the VM) calls SetVerboseFlag function with that bad argument ;  test test code seems to intentionally use 'bad' arguments . But this does not work well with ubsan ;  so better exclude those tests from ubsan checking .
