Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE (component: CORBA). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java
SE: 8u381 and 8u381-perf. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network
access via CORBA to compromise Oracle Java SE. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE accessible data. Note: This
vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using
Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.1
Base Score 5.3 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).
(CVE-2023-22067)
Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK product of Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE).
Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u381, 8u381-perf, 11.0.20, 17.0.8, 20.0.2;
Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.8 and 20.0.2. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated
attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK. Successful
attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service
(partial DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK. 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). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Availability
impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L). (CVE-2023-22081)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
