After updating to JDK 8u361, applications may fail to start, with multiple Exceptions being thrown, ultimately identified by a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException occurring at jdk.internal.platform.cgroupv2.CgroupV2Subsystem.initSubsystem.

The JVM will fail to initialize on Linux systems where /proc/self/mountinfo does not contain any mounted filesystem or controllers for cgroups. This failure occurs due to a faulty detection logic in the JVM where it incorrectly detects a cgroup v1 system, having no mounted controllers, as a cgroup v2 system.
