  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Hotspot).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 8u152 and 9.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u151. Easily
    exploitable 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 creation, deletion
    or modification access to critical data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This
    vulnerability 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-2018-2582)

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