CVE-2020-14562

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Java SE versions 11.0.7 and 14.0.1

Description The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the ImageIO component of Oracle Java SE, allowing a remote attacker to cause a partial denial of service via multiple protocols. This vulnerability 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. It does not apply to Java deployments that load and run only trusted code, typically in servers.

Recommendations For Java SE version 11.0.7, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. For Java SE version 14.0.1, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the ImageIO component until a patch is available.
