CVE-2017-10074: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-10074: Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Hotspot).

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u151, 7u141 and 8u131; Java SE Embedded: 8u131. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

This Java HotSpot flaw could let an attacker take over a vulnerable Java client or embedded runtime if a user runs untrusted sandboxed Java content, such as an applet or Java Web Start application. Impact is high, but exploitation is described as difficult and requires user interaction. Highest exposure is on endpoints or embedded deployments that still run affected Java versions and allow sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets from untrusted sources. The CVE text says typical server-side Java deployments loading only administrator-installed trusted code are not affected. Treat as high priority for legacy Java client environments, especially where users can launch internet-sourced Java content. Server-only Java workloads running trusted administrator-installed code are lower concern based on the CVE description. Mitigation focus: Identify affected Java SE and Java SE Embedded versions in the environment.; Apply vendor security updates from Oracle or downstream operating system maintainers.; Disable or remove Java applets and Java Web Start where not required..
