DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: Networking). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u481-perf, 11.0.30, 17.0.18, 21.0.10, 25.0.2, 26; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.18 and 21.0.10; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.17. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in the Networking component of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a hang or repeatable crash (complete availability loss) of the affected runtime. The flaw is described by Oracle as easily exploitable via multiple protocols against any application that feeds attacker-controlled data to the vulnerable networking APIs (e.g., an exposed web service). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is very low (0.04%, 12th percentile) and CISA SSVC lists exploitation status as none, so this is a patch-in-cycle availability issue rather than an active threat.

Technical ContextAI

The defect lives in the JDK/GraalVM Networking subsystem - the core Java networking stack (java.net / protocol handlers, sockets, and HTTP/URL parsing) shared across virtually all server- and client-side Java workloads. It is classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), meaning specially crafted network input drives the runtime into unbounded CPU, memory, or thread consumption (or an infinite loop) that exhausts resources and halts the JVM. Because the affected CPE set spans oracle_java_se, oracle_graalvm_for_jdk, and oracle_graalvm_enterprise_edition, the weakness is in shared upstream JDK code rather than a single distribution; the confidentiality and integrity impacts are None, consistent with a pure availability/resource-exhaustion bug.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor patch from the Oracle April 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2026.html), upgrading to the fixed Java SE / GraalVM releases published in that CPU; Patch available per vendor advisory. For OpenJDK-based distributions, apply the corresponding Red Hat errata (RHSA-2026:9254/9255/9256 and RHSA-2026:9686 through 9694) or Ubuntu USN-8334-1 as appropriate to your runtime. Where immediate patching is not possible on internet-facing services, reduce exposure by placing the vulnerable Java networking endpoints behind a reverse proxy or WAF that enforces request-size, rate, and timeout limits, and restrict network reachability of the affected services to trusted clients - accepting that these controls only blunt a resource-exhaustion DoS and do not eliminate it. For client-side risk, avoid loading untrusted code via sandboxed Java Web Start applications or applets, a legacy deployment model that should be decommissioned outright.
