- Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent:
Networking). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u141, 7u131 and 8u121; Java SE Embedded:
8u121; JRockit: R28.3.13. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network
access via FTP to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks of this vulnerability
can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit
accessible data. 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-2017-3533)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
