Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Java SE versions 7u311, 8u301, 11.0.12, 17
Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions 20.3.3 and 21.2.0
Description
The issue is related to the ImageIO component and allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. This vulnerability applies to Java deployments that load and run untrusted code and rely on the Java sandbox for security. It can also be exploited by using APIs in the specified component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs.
Recommendations
For Java SE versions 7u311, 8u301, 11.0.12, 17, consider disabling the ImageIO component until a patch is available.
For Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions 20.3.3 and 21.2.0, restrict access to the ImageIO component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of APIs in the specified component until the issue is resolved.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
