Vulnerability identifier: #VU11954

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 2.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-2800

CWE-ID: CWE-264

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information and write arbitrary files on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Java SE, JRockit component of Oracle Java SE due to improper security restrictions. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, update, insert or delete some of Java SE, JRockit accessible data and gain unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, JRockit accessible data.
