CVE-2018-3136: Oracle Corporation Java vulnerability

CVE-2018-3136: Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Security).

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Security). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u201, 7u191, 8u182 and 11; Java SE Embedded: 8u181. Difficult to exploit 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 unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), 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 3.4 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-3136 is an Oracle Java sandbox security flaw affecting specific Java SE and Java SE Embedded releases. It is mainly relevant to clients that run untrusted Java Web Start apps or Java applets and rely on the sandbox. It is difficult to exploit and requires user interaction, but can allow unauthorized data changes within Java-accessible data. Exposure is most likely on legacy client or embedded systems running Java SE 6u201, 7u191, 8u182, 11, or Java SE Embedded 8u181 that execute untrusted Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets. Treat this as a low-urgency legacy Java hygiene issue unless the organization still uses Java applets, Web Start, or embedded runtimes with untrusted code. Patch during normal cycles, but raise priority for exposed client fleets with sandbox-dependent Java workflows. Mitigation focus: Apply Oracle or distribution vendor security updates for affected Java releases.; Prioritize systems running Java Web Start, applets, or untrusted Java code.; Remove or disable unused browser applet and Web Start functionality..
