  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JCE).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u131 and 8u121; Java SE Embedded: 8u121; JRockit:
    R28.3.13. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the
    infrastructure where Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit executes to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded,
    JRockit. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the
    vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit, attacks may significantly impact additional
    products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover 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-2017-3511)

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