Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Concurrency). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u191, 7u181, 8u172 and 10.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u171; JRockit: R28.3.18. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) 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 3.7 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-2952 is a Java concurrency vulnerability that can let an unauthenticated network attacker trigger partial denial of service. The listed impact is availability only, with high attack complexity and no confidentiality or integrity impact stated. Exposure is most likely where affected Java runtimes process untrusted network-reachable input, including server-side APIs, web services, sandboxed Java Web Start applications, or sandboxed applets. Downstream OpenJDK distributions also issued security updates. Handle through normal vulnerability management unless exposed on critical internet-facing Java services. Business risk is service disruption, not data theft, based on provided impact data. Mitigation focus: Apply Oracle July 2018 CPU or relevant distribution Java security updates.; Upgrade affected Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit, or OpenJDK packages.; Prioritize internet-facing services that process untrusted Java API inputs..
