Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u241, 8u231, 11.0.5 and 13.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u231. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. 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. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 3.7 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L). ### From the Ubuntu Security Team It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly handled exceptions during deserialization in BeanContextSupport. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | icedtea-web | 26.04 LTS resolute | Needs evaluation | | 25.10 questing | Ignored end of life, was needs-triage | | 25.04 plucky | Ignored end of life, was needs-triage | | 24.10 oracular | Ignored end of life, was needs-triage | | 24.04 LTS noble | Needs evaluation | | 23.10 mantic | Ignored end of life, was needs-triage | | 23.04 lunar | Ignored end of life, was needs-triage | | 22.10 kinetic | Ignored end of life, was needs-triage | | 22.04 LTS jammy | Needs evaluation | | 21.10 impish | Ignored end of life | | 21.04 hirsute | Ignored end of life | | 20.10 groovy | Ignored end of life | | 20.04 LTS focal | Needs evaluation | | 19.10 eoan | Ignored end of life | | 19.04 disco | Ignored end of life | | 18.04 LTS bionic | Needs evaluation | | 16.04 LTS xenial | Needs evaluation | | 14.04 LTS trusty | Not in release | | openjdk-12 | 26.04 LTS resolute | Not in release | | 25.10 questing | Not in release | | 25.04 plucky | Not in release | | 24.10 oracular | Not in release | | 24.04 LTS noble | Not in release | | 23.10 mantic | Not in release | | 23.04 lunar | Not in release | | 22.10 kinetic | Not in release | | 22.04 LTS jammy | Not in release | | 21.10 impish | Not in release | | 21.04 hirsute | Not in release | | 20.10 groovy | Not in release | | 20.04 LTS focal | Not in release | | 19.10 eoan | Not in release | | 19.04 disco | Ignored end of life | | 18.04 LTS bionic | Not in release | | 16.04 LTS xenial | Not in release | | 14.04 LTS trusty | Not in release | | openjdk-13 | 26.04 LTS resolute | Not in release | | 25.10 questing | Not in release | | 25.04 plucky | Not in release | | 24.10 oracular | Not in release | | 24.04 LTS noble | Not in release | | 23.10 mantic | Not in release | | 23.04 lunar | Not in release | | 22.10 kinetic | Not in release | | 22.04 LTS jammy | Not in release | | 21.10 impish | Not in release | | 21.04 hirsute | Not in release | | 20.10 groovy | Not affected | | 20.04 LTS focal | Not affected | | 19.10 eoan | Ignored end of life | | 19.04 disco | Ignored end of life | | 18.04 LTS bionic | Not in release | | 16.04 LTS xenial | Not in release | | 14.04 LTS trusty | Not in release | | openjdk-8 | 26.04 LTS resolute | Not affected | | 25.10 questing | Not affected | | 25.04 plucky | Not affected | | 24.10 oracular | Not affected | | 24.04 LTS noble | Not affected | | 23.10 mantic | Not affected | | 23.04 lunar | Not affected | | 22.10 kinetic | Not affected | | 22.04 LTS jammy | Not affected | | 21.10 impish | Not affected | | 21.04 hirsute | Not affected | | 20.10 groovy | Not affected | | 20.04 LTS focal | Not affected | | 19.10 eoan | Fixed 8u242-b08-0ubuntu3~19.10 | | 19.04 disco | Ignored end of life | | 18.04 LTS bionic | Fixed 8u242-b08-0ubuntu3~18.04 | | 16.04 LTS xenial | Fixed 8u242-b08-0ubuntu3~16.04 | | 14.04 LTS trusty | Not in release | | openjdk-9 | 26.04 LTS resolute | Not in release | | 25.10 questing | Not in release | | 25.04 plucky | Not in release | | 24.10 oracular | Not in release | | 24.04 LTS noble | Not in release | | 23.10 mantic | Not in release | | 23.04 lunar | Not in release | | 22.10 kinetic | Not in release | | 22.04 LTS jammy | Not in release | | 21.10 impish | Not in release | | 21.04 hirsute | Not in release | | 20.10 groovy | Not in release | | 20.04 LTS focal | Not in release | | 19.10 eoan | Not in release | | 19.04 disco | Not in release | | 18.04 LTS bionic | Not in release | | 16.04 LTS xenial | Ignored end of standard support, was needs-triage | | 14.04 LTS trusty | Not in release | | openjdk-lts | 26.04 LTS resolute | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 25.10 questing | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 25.04 plucky | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 24.10 oracular | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 24.04 LTS noble | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 23.10 mantic | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 23.04 lunar | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 22.10 kinetic | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 22.04 LTS jammy | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 21.10 impish | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 21.04 hirsute | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 20.10 groovy | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 20.04 LTS focal | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1 | | 19.10 eoan | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 | | 19.04 disco | Ignored end of life | | 18.04 LTS bionic | Fixed 11.0.6+10-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 | | 16.04 LTS xenial | Not in release | | 14.04 LTS trusty | Not in release | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) ##
