CVSS 3.1
8.1
HighMetricsAV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
icedtea-web versions 1.7.2 and earlier
icedtea-web versions 1.8.2 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to insufficient authentication of data, allowing an attacker to inject executable code into a JAR file without compromising signature verification. This flaw can be exploited by a remote attacker to inject arbitrary code into a trusted JAR, which would be executed inside the sandbox.
Recommendations
For icedtea-web versions 1.7.2 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.7.2 to resolve the issue.
For icedtea-web versions 1.8.2 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.8.2 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the execution of code inside the sandbox to minimize the risk of exploitation.
