Oracle JRE 8 must enable the dialog to enable users to check publisher certificates for revocation.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-66961 JRE8-WN-000150 SV-81451r1_rule Medium
Description
A certificate revocation list is a directory which contains a list of certificates that have been revoked for various reasons. Certificates may be revoked due to improper issuance, compromise of the certificate, and failure to adhere to policy. Therefore, any certificate found on a CRL should not be trusted. Permitting execution of an applet published with a revoked certificate may result in spoofing, malware, system modification, invasion of privacy, and denial of service.
