Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle Java SE versions 8u152 and 9.0.1

Description The issue allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and may significantly impact additional products. The vulnerability can result in the takeover of Java SE. This issue 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. It does not apply to Java deployments that load and run only trusted code, typically in servers.

Recommendations For Oracle Java SE version 8u152, update to a version that fixes this issue. For Oracle Java SE version 9.0.1, update to a version that fixes this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Java sandbox in environments where untrusted code is executed, until a patch is available.
