  - Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JavaFX). Supported versions that
    are affected are Java SE: 7u141 and 8u131. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated
    attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks require
    human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, attacks
    may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
    takeover of Java SE. 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-2017-10086)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
