The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is prior to 10 Update 1, 8 Update 171, 7 Update 181, or 6 Update 191. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to the following components :

  - AWT
  - Concurrency
  - Hotspot
  - Install
  - JAXP
  - JMX
  - Libraries
  - RMI
  - Security
  - Serialization

An update of the openjdk8 package has been released.

It was discovered that OpenJDK did not properly validate types in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a Java class that could possibly bypass sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2018-2825, CVE-2018-2826)

It was discovered that the PatternSyntaxException class in OpenJDK did not properly validate arguments passed to it. An attacker could use this to potentially construct a class that caused a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2018-2952)

Daniel Bleichenbacher discovered a vulnerability in the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) mode of operation for symmetric block ciphers in OpenJDK.
An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2018-2972).

The version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0 < 6.0.16.65 / 6.1 < 6.1.8.65 / 7.0 < 7.0.10.25 / 7.1 < 7.1.4.25 / 8.0 < 8.0.5.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Oracle April 17 2018 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent:
    Security). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u181, 7u161 and 8u152; Java SE Embedded:
    8u152; JRockit: R28.3.17. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network     access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. 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 as well as unauthorized access to critical data or     complete access to 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. (CVE-2018-2783)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Security).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u181, 7u171, 8u162 and 10; Java SE Embedded: 8u161.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple     protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a     person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This     vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the     internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java     deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an     administrator). (CVE-2018-2790)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Security). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u181, 7u171, 8u162, 10 and JRockit: R28.3.17.

    8u161; JRockit: R28.3.17. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network     access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of     Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. 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. (CVE-2018-2795)

An update of the openjdk package has been released.

USN-3747-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenJDK 10 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Unfortunately, that update introduced a regression around accessability support that prevented some Java applications from starting. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
