Java FX version 2.2.76
Description
The issue allows a remote attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data using the 2D component. It affects the security of SSL/TLS connections, potentially allowing a remote attacker to downgrade the security of certain connections and facilitate brute-force decryption of TLS/SSL traffic using man-in-the-middle techniques.
Recommendations
For Java SE versions 5.0u81, 6u91, 7u76, and 8u40, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
For Java FX version 2.2.76, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the 2D component until a patch is available.
Restrict access to SSL/TLS connections to minimize the risk of exploitation.
