CVE-2020-2778: Vulnerability in the Java SE product of Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE).

Vulnerability in the Java SE product of Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 11.0.6 and 14. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE accessible data. 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 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2020-2778 is a low-severity Oracle Java SE flaw in JSSE, Java's TLS/HTTPS security component. An unauthenticated network attacker could, under difficult conditions, read a limited subset of Java-accessible data. The issue affects Java SE 11.0.6 and 14 in client and server deployments. Exposure is most likely where applications, servers, clients, or embedded products still run Oracle Java SE 11.0.6 or 14, or corresponding unpatched OpenJDK packages referenced by Debian, Ubuntu, or openSUSE advisories. NetApp also published related product guidance. Treat this as routine but necessary Java patching, not an emergency. Prioritize systems handling sensitive data over Java HTTPS and products with bundled Java. The business risk is limited data exposure, with difficult exploitation and no source-provided evidence of active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Update affected Java SE or OpenJDK runtimes using vendor security advisories.; Apply Oracle April 2020 CPU guidance where Oracle Java is used.; Apply Debian, Ubuntu, or openSUSE security updates for distro-managed Java packages..
