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 101, 7 Update 111, or 6 Update 121. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the CORBA subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-3458)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Networking subcomponent that allows a local attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-3485)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the JavaFX subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3498)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the JAXP subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3500)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Install subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3503)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the JAXP subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3508)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Deployment subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3511)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Hotspot subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose potentially sensitive information.
 (CVE-2016-3550)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Install subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3552)

 - A flaw exists in the Hotspot subcomponent due to improper access to the MethodHandle::invokeBasic() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3587)

 - A flaw exists in the Libraries subcomponent within the MethodHandles::dropArguments() function that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3598)

 - A flaw exists in the Hotspot subcomponent within the ClassVerifier::ends_in_athrow() function when handling bytecode verification. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2016-3606)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Libraries subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3610)

Solution

Upgrade to Oracle JDK / JRE 8 Update 101 / 7 Update 111 / 6 Update 121 or later. If necessary, remove any affected versions.

Note that an Extended Support contract with Oracle is needed to obtain JDK / JRE 6 Update 95 or later.
