Who should care

Oracle Java SE administrators, especially teams managing JDK/JRE 1.8 update 112 and any systems with Java Mission Control installed, should review exposure. Security teams should also check any environment where Java components are reachable over the network.

Technical summary

NVD lists vulnerable CPEs for Oracle JDK 1.8 update 112 and Oracle JRE 1.8 update 112. The CVSS v3.0 vector is AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, indicating unauthenticated network access with high exploit complexity and limited integrity impact. The record notes that the issue applies to Java Mission Control Installation and that exploitation may involve multiple protocols.

Defensive priority

Low for most environments, but patch during the next maintenance cycle; raise priority if Java Mission Control is installed on exposed or high-value systems.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Confirm whether Oracle Java SE 8u112 JDK/JRE or Java Mission Control is installed anywhere in the environment.
  • Apply Oracle's January 2017 CPU or later supported updates referenced by the vendor and NVD records.
  • Restrict network access to Java Mission Control and related Java management services to trusted hosts only.
  • Remove or disable Java Mission Control where it is not required.
  • Inventory and track additional Java deployments so that JDK/JRE 1.8 update 112 instances are not missed.
  • Monitor for unexpected integrity changes in Java SE-accessible data on systems that cannot be patched immediately.
