CVE-2019-2983

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Java SE versions 7u231, 8u221, 11.0.4, and 13 Java SE Embedded version 8u221

Description The issue is related to an error in exception handling in the Serialization component of Oracle Java SE and Java SE Embedded. It allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to compromise Java SE or Java SE Embedded, resulting in a partial denial of service. This vulnerability applies to Java deployments that load and run untrusted code, relying on the Java sandbox for security. It can also be exploited through the use of APIs in the specified component.

Recommendations For Java SE versions 7u231, 8u221, 11.0.4, and 13, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. For Java SE Embedded version 8u221, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Serialization component until a patch is available. Avoid using APIs in the Serialization component that may be vulnerable to exploitation until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
