"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JSSE).
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 SSL/TLS 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 as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit
accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) 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-2018-3180)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
