CVE-2017-10090: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-10090: 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: 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-2017-10090 is a critical Java client-side sandbox issue. If a user runs untrusted Java Web Start or applet code on affected Java versions, an attacker could take over that Java environment and potentially affect dependent products. Exposure is most likely in legacy client deployments using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets from untrusted sources. Oracle states typical server deployments that load only trusted administrator-installed code are not affected by this vulnerability. Treat this as urgent for legacy Java clients and embedded Java products. Business risk is lower for server-only trusted-code deployments, but unmanaged desktop Java and bundled runtimes should be found and updated quickly. Mitigation focus: Apply vendor Java updates from Oracle or your OS distribution advisories.; Prioritize Red Hat, Debian, Gentoo, NetApp, and other vendor guidance where applicable.; Disable or remove untrusted Java applet and Web Start usage where possible..
