ImageIO throws IndexOutOfBoundsException on faulty JPEG

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
openjdk version "9"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9+181)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode)

Also present in other versions I tested with (Oracle 7 and 8, OpenJDK 8).

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux 4.10.0-35-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 13 07:46:59 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I fuzzed JPEG loading with javax.imageio.ImageIO using the AFL-based fuzzing tool Kelinci (https://github.com/isstac/kelinci). It found an input on which ImageIO.read() throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException. Per the specification, it should throw an IOException instead for faulty JPEGs.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the attached test case on the faulty JPEG image generated by Kelinci. Unfortunately I cannot attach the JPEG here, please get in touch and I'll send it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
ImageIO.read() throws an IIOException, which is then caught by an application using the library.
ACTUAL -
ImageIO.read() throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException, crashing the thread it was called from.
