Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Java Mission Control). The supported version that is affected is Java SE: 8u112. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE accessible data. Note: Applies to Java Mission Control Installation. CVSS v3.0 Base Score 3.7 (Integrity impacts).

An update of the openjre package has been released.

An update of the openjdk package has been released.

The version of Oracle Java SE installed on the remote host is prior to 6 Update 141, 7 Update 131, or 8 Update 121 and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in the 'ECDSASignature' class of the Libraries subcomponent. The issue is triggered when handling signatures from DER input. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a signature in an incorrect format to be accepted. (CVE-2016-5546)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Libraries subcomponent. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2016-5547)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Libraries subcomponent. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to gain access to sensitive information. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2016-5548, CVE-2016-5549)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Networking subcomponent. This may allow a remote attacker to have an impact on integrity. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2016-5552)
 - A flaw exists in the Install New Software and Update features in the Mission Control subcomponent that may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to intercept and manipulate JAR files, potentially resulting in the installation of malicious content. (CVE-2016-8328)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Networking subcomponent. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to gain access to sensitive information. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2017-3231)
 - A flaw exists in the RMI registry and DCG (Distributed Garbage Collector) implementation that is triggered as certain input is not properly sanitized before being deserialized. This may allow a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside of intended sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2017-3241)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the JAAS subcomponent. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to have an impact on integrity. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2017-3252)
 - A flaw exists in the 'PNGImageReader::readMetadata()' function in 'imageio/plugins/png/PNGImageReader.java' that is triggered when handling 'zTXt' and 'iTXt' image chunks. With a specially crafted PNG image, a remote attacker can exhaust available memory resources. (CVE-2017-3253)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Deployment subcomponent. This may allow a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2017-3259)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Networking subcomponent. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to gain access to sensitive information. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2017-3261)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Java Mission Control subcomponent. This may allow a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2017-3262)
 - A flaw exists related to improper restrictions on protected field members for the atomic field updaters in the 'java.util.concurrent.atomic' package. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside of intended sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2017-3272)
 - A flaw exists in the Hotspot subcomponent related to insecure class construction when handling exception stack frames. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside of intended sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2017-3289)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-65 (Oracle JRE/JDK: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in in Oracle&rsquo;s JRE and       JDK. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, gain access to information, or cause a Denial       of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0175 advisory.

    Oracle Java SE version 8 includes the Oracle Java Runtime Environment and the Oracle Java Software     Development Kit.

    This update upgrades Oracle Java SE 8 to version 8 Update 121.

    Security Fix(es):

    * This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in the Oracle Java Runtime Environment and the Oracle Java     Software Development Kit. Further information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Java SE     Critical Patch Update Advisory page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2016-2183, CVE-2016-5546,     CVE-2016-5547, CVE-2016-5548, CVE-2016-5549, CVE-2016-5552, CVE-2016-8328, CVE-2017-3231, CVE-2017-3241,     CVE-2017-3252, CVE-2017-3253, CVE-2017-3259, CVE-2017-3261, CVE-2017-3262, CVE-2017-3272, CVE-2017-3289)

    This update mitigates the CVE-2016-2183 issue by adding 3DES cipher suites to the list of legacy     algorithms (defined using the jdk.tls.legacyAlgorithms security property) so they are only used if     connecting TLS/SSL client and server do not share any other non-legacy cipher suite.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is prior to 8 Update 121, 7 Update 131, or 6 Update 141. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A vulnerability exists in the Libraries subcomponent,     known as SWEET32, in the 3DES and Blowfish algorithms     due to the use of weak 64-bit block ciphers by default.
    A man-in-the-middle attacker who has sufficient     resources can exploit this vulnerability, via a     'birthday' attack, to detect a collision that leaks the     XOR between the fixed secret and a known plaintext,     allowing the disclosure of the secret text, such as     secure HTTPS cookies, and possibly resulting in the     hijacking of an authenticated session. (CVE-2016-2183)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Libraries subcomponent     that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to     impact integrity. (CVE-2016-5546)
