CVE-2017-10274: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-10274: Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Smart Card IO).

Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Smart Card IO). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u161, 7u151, 8u144 and 9. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Java SE accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Java SE accessible data. 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 6.8 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-10274 is an Oracle Java SE flaw in Smart Card IO. The main business risk is older client-side Java that runs untrusted applets or Web Start applications. A successful attack needs user interaction but could expose or alter critical data accessible to Java. Exposure is most likely on endpoints or appliances using affected Oracle Java SE or OpenJDK-derived packages for sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets. Server-side Java workloads that only load trusted administrator-installed code are explicitly outside the stated applicability. Handle through standard vulnerability management with priority for legacy desktop Java and products bundling OpenJDK. This is not presented as actively exploited, but the data access impact is serious where untrusted Java content still runs. Mitigation focus: Identify affected Java SE versions: 6u161, 7u151, 8u144, and 9.; Apply vendor Java or OpenJDK security updates from Oracle or your OS vendor.; Remove or disable Java applet and Web Start use where not required..
