I like this one:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5904

As far as I know, it was not hit by user(s), but it was a real
vulnerability when Lucene operates in a hostile environment where an
adversarial virus checker can hold certain files open a "bad times"
for Lucene.

In such cases it could cause Lucene to delete files that would the
corrupt its index, sort of a DOS attack.

But I'm not sure this bug qualifies?  It seems like you are looking
for bugs that are much more subtle in their impact?
