CVE-2017-10116: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-10116: Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Security).

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Security). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u151, 7u141 and 8u131; Java SE Embedded: 8u131; JRockit: R28.3.14. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web service. 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 is a high-impact Oracle Java security flaw in older Java SE, Java SE Embedded, and JRockit versions. A successful attack could take over the Java runtime and affect systems that depend on it. Exploitation is described as difficult and requiring user interaction, but the potential business impact is full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Exposure is most likely where legacy Oracle Java runtimes remain on servers, desktops, embedded deployments, or products bundling affected Java versions. Public-facing web services that pass untrusted data into affected Java APIs deserve priority review. Browser-based Java applet or Web Start usage increases relevance, though those technologies are now uncommon in many environments. Treat this as high priority for legacy Java environments, especially where Java processes untrusted network input or supports applets/Web Start. It is not marked as known exploited in the supplied sources, so urgency should be driven by exposure, asset criticality, and whether affected runtimes are still deployed. Mitigation focus: Apply Oracle July 2017 CPU or relevant vendor Java updates.; Remove or upgrade Java SE 6u151, 7u141, 8u131, Embedded 8u131, and JRockit R28.3.14.; Disable Java applets and Web Start where not business-required..
