CVE-2017-10087: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-10087: Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Libraries).

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Libraries). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u151, 7u141 and 8u131; Java SE Embedded: 8u131. Easily exploitable 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 9.6 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-10087 is a critical Oracle Java client-side sandbox issue. A user who opens untrusted Java Web Start content or a Java applet could allow an attacker to take over the affected Java runtime. The source says typical server-side Java deployments running only trusted administrator-installed code are not affected. Exposure is most likely in legacy desktop or embedded environments that still run affected Java versions and allow sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets from untrusted sources. Server-side Java applications that load only trusted code are excluded by the provided Oracle description. Prioritize remediation for any environment that still permits Java applets, Web Start, or untrusted Java content. Treat this as urgent for legacy desktops and embedded products, but validate applicability before disrupting server-side Java services. Mitigation focus: Inventory affected Java SE and Java SE Embedded versions.; Apply applicable Oracle CPU or distribution vendor Java updates.; Disable or remove Java applet and Web Start exposure where possible..
