Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java Web Start in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 7, JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 16, and SDK and JRE 1.4.x before 1.4.2_18 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information (the cache location) via an untrusted application, aka CR 6704074.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-3114 is an old Sun Java Web Start information disclosure issue. An untrusted Java Web Start application could learn the local Java cache location. The source bundle does not show code execution, privilege escalation, CVSS scoring, or active exploitation. Exposure is most plausible on legacy systems still running affected Sun Java Web Start versions or bundled runtimes. Modern environments without Java Web Start or without these obsolete Java lines are less likely exposed. Downstream advisories indicate packaging impact varied by vendor. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless affected Java Web Start is still present in business workflows. Prioritize discovery because obsolete Java runtimes often create broader risk than this single cache-location disclosure. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems with Java Web Start or legacy JRE/JDK installations.; Upgrade JDK/JRE 6 to Update 7 or later where still applicable.; Upgrade JDK/JRE 5.0 to Update 16 or later where still applicable..
