REDHAT-BUG-2557857: Medium severity Oracle Java SE vulnerability
Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 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 logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Java SE executes to compromise Oracle Java SE. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE 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 4.7 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is realistically exposed to this vulnerability?
Exposure requires an attacker to have access to log on to the infrastructure where the affected Java runtime executes. Java client deployments that run untrusted code in sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets are also affected when they rely on the Java sandbox for protection.
What must an attacker do to exploit it?
The attack is difficult and requires human interaction by someone other than the attacker. It can be exercised through APIs in the affected component, including when a web service supplies data to those APIs.
What is the impact of a successful attack?
A successful attack can allow unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data or all data accessible to the affected Oracle Java SE runtime. The stated CVSS impact is integrity only; confidentiality and availability impacts are not listed.
Which versions are identified as affected?
Affected Oracle Java SE versions are 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1, and 27. Affected Oracle GraalVM for JDK versions are 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.19.1.1 is also affected.
