Security Alert (A18-04-07): Multiple Vulnerabilities in Oracle Java and Oracle Products (April 2018)

Description:

Oracle has released Critical Patch Update (CPU) Advisory with collections of patches for multiple security vulnerabilities found in Java SE and various Oracle products.

There are 14 vulnerabilities identified in Java affecting multiple sub-components including AWT, Concurrency, Hotspot, Install, JAXP, JMX, Libraries, RMI, Security and Serialization. 12 of them could be remotely exploited without authentication and other vulnerabilities could affect the deployment of Java.

For vulnerabilities identified in other Oracle products, they can be exploited by physical access or remotely through various protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, NFS, LDAP, T3, TLS, MySQL protocol and XCom over a network.

There are multiple attack vectors. For Java, an attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web page containing un-trusted Java applet or Java Web Start application with malicious content, or to launch executables using the Java launcher. For other Oracle products, a remote attacker could send specially crafted network packets to the affected system to exploit the vulnerabilities.

Affected Systems:

• Oracle Java SE
• Database
• Oracle Linux and Virtualization
• Oracle MySQL Product Suite
• Oracle and Sun Systems Products Suite
• Fusion Applications and Middleware
• Oracle Support Tools

A complete list of the affected products can be found at:

Impact:

Depending on the vulnerability exploited, a successful attack could lead to denial of services, data tampering, information disclosure or compromise of a vulnerable system.

Recommendation:

Patches for affected systems are available. Users of the affected systems should follow the recommendations provided by the product vendor and take immediate actions to mitigate the risk.
