CVE-2017-10101

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Java SE versions 6u151, 7u141, 8u131 Java SE Embedded version 8u131

Description The issue allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE and Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. This vulnerability can result in the takeover of Java SE and Java SE Embedded. It applies to Java deployments that load and run untrusted code, such as sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, and rely on the Java sandbox for security.

Recommendations For Java SE versions 6u151, 7u141, and 8u131, update to a version that is not affected by this issue. For Java SE Embedded version 8u131, update to a version that is not affected by this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the JAXP component until a patch is available. Avoid loading and running untrusted code in Java deployments to minimize the risk of exploitation.
