CVE-2017-10111: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-10111: 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). The supported version that is affected is Java SE: 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

This is a critical Oracle Java vulnerability affecting Java SE 8u131 and Java SE Embedded 8u131. A user running untrusted sandboxed Java applets or Java Web Start content could have their Java environment taken over. Server deployments that only run administrator-installed trusted code are explicitly out of scope in the source description. Most likely exposure is legacy desktop or embedded Java 8u131 environments that still allow Java applets, Java Web Start, or other untrusted internet-origin Java code. Pure server-side Java deployments running only trusted administrator-installed code are not covered by the CVE description. Treat this as urgent for environments with legacy Java clients or embedded Java that may process untrusted code. It is less urgent for server-only Java use matching the source’s trusted-code exception, but those systems should still be inventoried and confirmed. Mitigation focus: Apply Oracle and relevant OS/vendor security updates for CVE-2017-10111.; Remove or disable Java applet and Java Web Start exposure where not required.; Prevent Java clients from loading untrusted internet-origin code..
