Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 40/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 92.6% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: openjdk-7 (Debian:7) 7u111-2.6.7-2~deb7u1; openjdk-7 (Debian:8) 7u111-2.6.7-2~deb8u1; java-1.6.0-openjdk (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client) 1:1.6.0.41-1.13.13.1.el5_11.
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to openjdk-7 (Debian:7) 7u111-2.6.7-2~deb7u1; openjdk-7 (Debian:8) 7u111-2.6.7-2~deb8u1; java-1.6.0-openjdk (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client) 1:1.6.0.41-1.13.13.1.el5_11 or later.
