critical Nessus Plugin ID 78482

Language:

New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote Unix host contains a programming platform that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is prior to 8 Update 25, 7 Update 71, 6 Update 85, or 5 Update 75. It is, therefore, affected by security issues in the following components :

 - 2D
 - AWT
 - Deployment
 - Hotspot
 - JAXP
 - JSSE
 - JavaFX
 - Libraries
 - Security

Solution

Update to JDK / JRE 8 Update 25, 7 Update 71, 6 Update 85, or 5 Update 75 or later and, if necessary, remove any affected versions.

Note that an Extended Support contract with Oracle is needed to obtain JDK / JRE 5 Update 75 or later or 6 Update 85 or later.
