CVE-2017-3252: Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JAAS).

MediumCVSS 5.8 · v3.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)

  • 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: 1.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 80.3% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. A user must open a link or visit a page. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: openjdk-7 (Debian:7) 7u121-2.6.8-2~deb7u1; openjdk-7 (Debian:8) 7u121-2.6.8-2~deb8u1; java-1.7.0-openjdk (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client) 1:1.7.0.131-2.6.9.0.el5_11.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to openjdk-7 (Debian:7) 7u121-2.6.8-2~deb7u1; openjdk-7 (Debian:8) 7u121-2.6.8-2~deb8u1; java-1.7.0-openjdk (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::client) 1:1.7.0.131-2.6.9.0.el5_11 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JAAS). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u131, 7u121 and 8u112; Java SE Embedded: 8u111; JRockit: R28.3.12. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit accessible data. Note: Applies to client and server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS v3.0 Base Score 5.8 (Integrity impacts).
