Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 64/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 80.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.6% of all records.
  • No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: java-1.6.0-sun (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 1:1.6.0.22-1jpp.1.el4; java-1.6.0-sun-demo (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 1:1.6.0.22-1jpp.1.el4; java-1.6.0-sun-devel (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 1:1.6.0.22-1jpp.1.el4.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to java-1.6.0-sun (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 1:1.6.0.22-1jpp.1.el4; java-1.6.0-sun-demo (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 1:1.6.0.22-1jpp.1.el4; java-1.6.0-sun-devel (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 1:1.6.0.22-1jpp.1.el4 or later.
