Hi,

I checked the first one with the clones of term attributes: There is no 
issue at all. It can't throw SecurityException in its super call: all 
superclasses are known. When doing a deep clone, it may throw runtime 
exceptions if the clone's original attribute is already broken, but this 
is totally expected.

The TokenStream API is known to throw unexpected runtime exceptions when 
the input text is broken, but IndexWriter and other classes can handle 
that. So there's no issue or security risk.

About the issues: This cryptic report is not helpful. I read the 
documentation of Google's Fuzzer but I am not willing to install 
hundreds of tools to parse the attached binary file. If Google wants 
this fixed, they should provide a bug report on the Lucene side and give 
useful information why the issue they saw is an issues. I am not willing 
to look into this without an explanation.
