REDHAT-BUG-2557665: Medium 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; 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 creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. 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 6.5 (Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which deployments are exposed to network-based exploitation?
An unauthenticated attacker needs network access through multiple protocols and a path to supply data to the affected 2D APIs, such as a web service that passes attacker-controlled data to those APIs. Java client deployments running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets are also affected.
Which product versions are identified as affected?
Affected Oracle Java SE versions are 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, and 17.0.20.1. Affected Oracle GraalVM for JDK versions are 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1, and the affected Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition version is 21.3.19.1.1.
What could a successful attack allow?
A successful attack may allow unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data or all data accessible to the affected product. It may also allow a partial denial of service.
