CVE-2017-3514
HighSummary
Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: AWT) allows an attacker with network access to compromise Java SE. It requires user interaction, making exploitation difficult, but can lead to takeover of Java SE.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute unauthorized code, significantly impacting other products relying on Java SE. This particularly affects applications running in a sandbox environment.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update to the latest version of Java SE to minimize risks associated with this vulnerability. Additionally, limit the execution of untrusted code in the Java environment.

Original NVD description (English source)
Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: AWT). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u141, 7u131 and 8u121. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE. 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). CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.3 (Confidentia
