CVE-2019-2762

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Java SE versions 7u221, 8u212, 11.0.3, 12.0.1 Java SE Embedded version 8u211

Description The issue is related to insufficient checks in the Java SE and Java SE Embedded components, specifically in the Utilities subcomponent. This allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to compromise Java SE or Java SE Embedded, resulting in a partial denial of service. The vulnerability can be exploited through multiple protocols and affects Java deployments that load and run untrusted code, relying on the Java sandbox for security. It can also be exploited using APIs in the specified component.

Recommendations For Java SE versions 7u221, 8u212, 11.0.3, and 12.0.1, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. For Java SE Embedded version 8u211, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Utilities component until a patch is available. Avoid using APIs in the affected component until the issue is resolved.
