CVE-2017-3514: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2017-3514: Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: AWT).

Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: AWT). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u141, 7u131 and 8u121. 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 and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE. 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 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 client-side sandbox issue. If a user runs untrusted Java Web Start content or a Java applet, an unauthenticated remote attacker could potentially take over the Java runtime. Server-side Java that only runs administrator-installed trusted code is explicitly not covered by this issue. Exposure is most likely on endpoints or legacy workflows that still permit sandboxed Java Web Start applications or browser applets from untrusted internet sources. The source states this does not apply to typical server deployments that load only trusted administrator-installed code. Treat this as a high-priority legacy Java client exposure. The business urgency is strongest where users can launch internet-sourced Java content. If Java is only used server-side with trusted code, this specific CVE is less likely to drive emergency action. Mitigation focus: Check Oracle April 2017 CPU guidance for supported fixed Java updates.; Update affected Java SE 6u141, 7u131, and 8u121 deployments per vendor guidance.; Review Gentoo GLSA advisories if using Gentoo-managed Java packages..
