  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JMX).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u171, 7u161, 8u152 and 9.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u151;
    JRockit: R28.3.16. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access
    via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit. Successful attacks of this
    vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all
    Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or
    complete access to all Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can
    only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using Untrusted Java Web
    Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service. (CVE-2018-2637)

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