HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Oracle Java SE versions 8u391, 8u391-perf, 11.0.21, 17.0.9, 21.0.1
Oracle GraalVM for JDK versions 17.0.9, 21.0.1
Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions 20.3.12, 21.3.8, 22.3.4
Description
The issue exists due to insufficient input validation in the Hotspot component of Oracle Java SE and Oracle GraalVM. This vulnerability can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols, allowing them to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks can result in unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification access to critical data or all accessible data. The vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified component without using untrusted Java Web Start applications or untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service.
Recommendations
For Oracle Java SE versions 8u391, 8u391-perf, 11.0.21, 17.0.9, 21.0.1, update to a version that includes the fix for this vulnerability.
For Oracle GraalVM for JDK versions 17.0.9, 21.0.1, update to a version that includes the fix for this vulnerability.
For Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition versions 20.3.12, 21.3.8, 22.3.4, update to a version that includes the fix for this vulnerability.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Hotspot component and limiting the use of APIs that can be exploited through a web service.
