CVE-2018-2800: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2018-2800: Vulnerability in the Java SE, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: RMI).

Vulnerability in the Java SE, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: RMI). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u181, 7u171 and 8u162; JRockit: R28.3.17. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, JRockit. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, JRockit accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, JRockit accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 4.2 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-2800 affects older Oracle Java SE and JRockit releases. A remote unauthenticated attacker could cause limited data disclosure or modification, but exploitation is difficult and requires user interaction. Business urgency is mainly for organizations still running legacy Java runtimes or vendor products that embed them. Exposure is most likely in legacy Java deployments, applications accepting network-supplied data into Java APIs, or third-party products bundling affected Java/JRockit runtimes. Modern patched Java installations are less likely to be exposed, but embedded runtimes should be checked separately. Prioritize as a legacy-runtime cleanup and patch-verification item. It is not presented as actively exploited in the provided sources, but affected Java versions are old and may exist inside business-critical applications or appliances. Mitigation focus: Apply the relevant Oracle Java security update or supported vendor package update.; Update affected Linux distribution packages using Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, or Gentoo advisories as applicable.; Inventory third-party products that bundle Java or JRockit and check vendor advisories..
