CVE-2017-10285: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-10285: Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: RMI).

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: RMI). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u161, 7u151, 8u144 and 9; Java SE Embedded: 8u144. 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-2017-10285 is a severe Oracle Java RMI sandbox issue. A user running untrusted Java Web Start or applet content could allow an unauthenticated network attacker to take over Java. The source bundle does not show active exploitation, but the potential impact is full compromise of affected Java deployments. Exposure is most likely on endpoints or embedded systems that run sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets from untrusted sources. The CVE notes it does not apply to typical server deployments that load only administrator-installed trusted code. Treat this as urgent for legacy Java client environments and Java-enabled appliances. Prioritize patching and reducing untrusted Java execution. Server Java deployments may be lower priority if they only run trusted code, but that assumption should be validated. Mitigation focus: Apply Oracle or operating-system vendor Java security updates from the cited advisories.; Remove or disable Java Web Start and applet use where it is not required.; Block users from running untrusted Java content from the internet..
