  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JNDI).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u201, 7u191, 8u182 and 11; Java SE Embedded: 8u181;
    JRockit: R28.3.19. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access
    via multiple protocols 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: This vulnerability
    applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or
    sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g. code that comes from the
    internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can also be exploited by using
    APIs in the specified Component, e.g. through a web service which supplies data to the APIs.
    (CVE-2018-3149)
