CVE-2017-3511: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-3511: Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JCE).

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JCE). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u131 and 8u121; Java SE Embedded: 8u121; JRockit: R28.3.13. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit executes 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: Applies to client and server deployment of Java. 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 7.7 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-3511 is a high-impact Oracle Java vulnerability in the JCE component. The affected supported releases include Java SE 7u131, 8u121, Java SE Embedded 8u121, and JRockit R28.3.13. Successful exploitation could allow takeover of the Java runtime, but the source describes difficult exploitation requiring user interaction and local infrastructure access. Exposure is most likely where legacy Oracle Java 7u131, Java 8u121, Java SE Embedded 8u121, or JRockit R28.3.13 remains installed on endpoints, application servers, embedded systems, or middleware. Systems accepting untrusted data into affected Java APIs may also be relevant. Treat this as high priority for legacy Java environments, especially business applications still dependent on Java Web Start, applets, embedded Java, or JRockit. The practical urgency depends on where affected versions remain and whether those systems handle untrusted input or user-triggered Java content. Mitigation focus: Check Oracle CPU April 2017 and OS vendor advisories for supported fixed packages.; Prioritize removal or update of affected Java and JRockit versions.; Disable Java Web Start and browser applet usage where business operations allow..
