CVE-2020-14803 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 21 Oct 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. ### Official description Vulnerability in the Java SE product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 11.0.8 and 15. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE accessible data. Note: This vulnerability 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. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator).

What it is: CVE-2020-14803 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 21 Oct 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-14803 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected packages and fixed versions: - java (Bitnami): affected from 9.0.0; fixed in 11.0.9, 15.0.1 - java-min (Bitnami): affected from 9.0.0; fixed in 11.0.9, 15.0.1 - jre (Bitnami): affected from 9.0.0; fixed in 11.0.9, 15.0.1 Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
