REDHAT-BUG-2557405: Medium severity Oracle Java SE vulnerability
Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.19.1.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).

Frequently Asked Questions
What access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?
An unauthenticated attacker needs network access and can exploit the issue through multiple protocols. The attack complexity is low and requires no privileges or user interaction.
Which deployments are most directly exposed?
Deployments that expose the affected Java library APIs through a network-facing service, such as a web service that supplies data to those APIs, are exposed. Client deployments running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets that load untrusted internet-sourced code and rely on the Java sandbox are also affected.
What is the expected impact of successful exploitation?
Successful exploitation can cause a partial denial of service in Oracle Java SE. The stated CVSS impact is limited to availability; no confidentiality or integrity impact is listed.
Which product versions are identified as affected?
Affected Oracle Java SE versions are 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, and 25.0.4.1. Affected GraalVM versions are Oracle GraalVM for JDK 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19.1.1.
