  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Networking).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u141, 7u131 and 8u121; Java SE Embedded: 8u121.
    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 as well as
    unauthorized read access to a subset 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-2017-3509)

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