Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle Java SE versions 7u181, 8u172, and 10.0.1

Description The issue allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, requiring human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks can result in the takeover of Java SE and may significantly impact additional products. 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.

Recommendations For Oracle Java SE version 7u181, update to a version that contains a fix for this issue. For Oracle Java SE version 8u172, update to a version that contains a fix for this issue. For Oracle Java SE version 10.0.1, update to a version that contains a fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of Java SE in environments where untrusted code is executed, such as sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, until a patch is available.
