Waratek protection

Outside Waratek scope

A Java vulnerability, but not one Waratek protects. It affects only Java on a user's desktop (applets, Web Start, JavaFX, the installer), sits in a product the Waratek agent can't be installed into, or is in a package we don't expect in business applications. The decision below says which.

  • Protection none
  • Action not pursued none
  • Review automated Upstream data
  • Record active
Decided by Oracle's own risk-matrix note saying the CVE is reached only through untrusted code in the Java sandbox (applets, Web Start) or only through a client installation of Java, so a server running its own trusted code is not exposed
Finding The Java SE CPU Feb 2011 advisory says this vulnerability is reached only through untrusted code running in the Java sandbox, such as an applet or a Web Start application: "Applies to client deployment of Java only. This vulnerability can be exploited only through Untrusted Java Web Start applications and Untrusted Java applets. (Untrusted Java Web Start applications and untrusted applets run in the Java sandbox with limited privileges.)" A server JVM that runs only its own trusted code is not exposed, so there is nothing for the agent to protect.
