An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-14779 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- java (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 7.0.281, 8.0.271, 11.0.9, 15.0.1\n- java-min (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 7.0.281, 8.0.271, 11.0.9, 15.0.1\n- jre (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 7.0.281, 8.0.271, 11.0.9, 15.0.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-14779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14779/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-14779","record":{"aliases":["BIT-java-2020-14779","BIT-java-min-2020-14779","BIT-jre-2020-14779","CLEANSTART-2026-HN26495","CLEANSTART-2026-JU50963","DEBIAN-CVE-2020-14779","GHSA-ppr6-rwxr-hfr8","MINI-3jm2-2r46-95rw","MINI-474g-26v9-xxhv","MINI-763m-qvq5-6c32","MINI-p9p9-jx8c-74f4","MINI-r24f-v8hv-rf4j","MINI-rj79-78m2-qpf2","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-14779"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java SE Runtime","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can cause a partial denial of service in Java SE via the Serialization component.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"oracle","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"7-mode_transition_tool","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"active_iq_unified_manager","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"e-series_santricity_os_controller","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"e-series_santricity_storage_manager","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"e-series_santricity_web_services","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_management_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_storage_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"oncommand_insight","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"oncommand_unified_manager_core_package","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"santricity_cloud_connector","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"santricity_unified_manager","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"snapmanager","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"solidfire","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"jdk","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"jre","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"openjdk","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Serialization). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u271, 8u261, 11.0.8 and 15; Java SE Embedded: 8u261. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded.
