Technical details
The Java plugin component in Oracle Java SE versions 8u503 and 8u503-perf is vulnerable to a sandbox escape triggered by a local attacker with logon access. The vulnerability requires high complexity to exploit but requires no user interaction and results in scope change, meaning the compromise can impact systems beyond the Java runtime itself. Successful exploitation grants unauthorized read and write access to data accessible by the Java process.
