java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "java.net.preferIPv4Stack" "read") is thrown after upgrading JDK and Oracle JDBC driver

Issue

After upgrading JDK and Oracle JDBC, my application isn't unable to access the Oracle Database due to the following exception. Is the JDK upgrade the cause?
