REDHAT-BUG-2557443: High severity Oracle Java SE vulnerability
Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: 2D). 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, 27; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.19.1.1. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data and unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. 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 7.0 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which deployments are exposed to this issue?
Affected deployments use the listed Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, or Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions and expose the affected 2D component through APIs. One example is a web service that supplies attacker-controlled data to those APIs.
Does exploitation require authentication or local access?
No. The issue is described as exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols, although exploitation is considered difficult.
What could a successful attack cause?
A successful attack can cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash resulting in complete denial of service. It can also allow unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some accessible data and unauthorized read access to a subset of accessible data.
Which versions are identified as affected?
Oracle Java SE versions listed as affected are 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1, and 27. Oracle GraalVM for JDK versions are 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition version is 21.3.19.1.1.
