    Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical
    data or complete access to all Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit accessible data. Note: 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-2017-10356)
