Waratek protection
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 | The only affected product being a sealed appliance image, where Java runs but no -javaagent can be attached |
|---|---|
| Finding | This CVE names only products the Waratek agent cannot be installed into (netapp/active_iq_unified_manager). They ship as sealed appliance images or as native code with no application JVM, so there is no start-up line to add -javaagent to. The vulnerability may well be a Java one; it is permanently out of ARMR's reach rather than outside its subject. |
