Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Java SE versions 7u121 and 8u112 Java SE Embedded version 8u111

Description The issue is related to a vulnerability in the Java SE and Java SE Embedded component, specifically in the Libraries subcomponent. This vulnerability can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols, allowing them to compromise Java SE and Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Java SE and Java SE Embedded accessible data. The vulnerability applies to Java deployments that load and run untrusted code, such as sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, and rely on the Java sandbox for security.

Recommendations For Java SE version 7u121, update to a version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. For Java SE version 8u112, update to a version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. For Java SE Embedded version 8u111, update to a version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Java sandbox in environments where untrusted code is executed, until a patch is available.
