UBUNTU-CVE-2026-91335: Low severity ubuntu/openjdk-8 vulnerability
Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: AWT). 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 low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability 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. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 2.6 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which deployments are realistically exposed to this issue?
The issue applies primarily to client deployments that run sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets loading untrusted code, such as code obtained from the internet, while relying on the Java sandbox for isolation. It does not apply to typical server deployments that load and run only trusted code.
What must an attacker be able to do to exploit it?
An attacker must have low privileges and network access through multiple protocols. Exploitation is difficult and also requires interaction by a person other than the attacker.
What is the potential impact of a successful attack?
A successful attack may allow unauthorized read access to a subset of data accessible to the affected Java, GraalVM for JDK, or GraalVM Enterprise Edition deployment. The provided severity vector indicates no integrity or availability impact.
Are all listed Java versions affected?
Affected Oracle Java SE versions include 8u503, 8u503-perf, 11.0.32.1, 17.0.20.1, 21.0.12.1, 25.0.4.1, and 27. Listed affected GraalVM versions are 17.0.20.1 and 21.0.12.1 for GraalVM for JDK, and 21.3.19.1.1 for GraalVM Enterprise Edition.
