Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Serialization). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u151, 7u141 and 8u131; Java SE Embedded: 8u131; JRockit: R28.3.14. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. 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 5.3 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-10109 is an Oracle Java serialization flaw that can let an unauthenticated network attacker cause partial denial of service. The key business risk is disruption, not data theft, and Oracle says the issue mainly matters where Java runs untrusted sandboxed code such as Web Start applications or applets. Exposure is most likely on clients or embedded deployments that execute untrusted Java Web Start or applet code and depend on the Java sandbox. Oracle states typical server-side Java deployments running only trusted administrator-installed code are not affected by this condition. Treat as a targeted remediation item for legacy Java and embedded environments, especially where untrusted Java code can run. It is not described as a confidentiality breach, but internet-facing or user-facing legacy Java workflows deserve prompt verification. Mitigation focus: Identify Java SE, Java SE Embedded, and JRockit versions matching the affected list.; Apply the relevant Oracle, OS distribution, or vendor security update guidance.; Disable or remove unnecessary Java applet and Web Start usage..
