Vulnerability in Oracle Java SE and GraalVM Products

CVE-2024-21138

Summary

A security flaw exists in Oracle's Java SE and GraalVM products, primarily in the Hotspot component, that can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers with network access via various protocols. This vulnerability enables attackers to initiate a partial denial of service attack on affected versions of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Exploitation can occur through APIs, often connected to web services that provide data, making Java deployments, especially those running sandboxed applications or applets, particularly susceptible if they execute untrusted code. It is crucial for organizations using these products to assess their exposure and apply necessary mitigations.
