Zero Day Java 7 Vulnerability
Posted: 06/13/2013
Users who have Java enabled in their browsers are vulnerable to a threat referred to as "Zero Day Java 7 Vulnerability." Browsing the web with a vulnerable version of Java installed and enabled means that simply visiting a website is enough for an attacker to compromise your computer. This is known as a "drive-by download." Tulane Information Security is aware of this exposure and is monitoring activity related to this issue. We are blocking traffic from known sites that represent a threat.
RECOMMENDATIONS
While disabling Java is one method of blocking this threat, the use of Java is essential to use of Banner and other Tulane enterprise systems so it is not a practical solution. We recommend that the Tulane computing community be as vigilant as possible about visiting unfamiliar websites and consider the following:
- Regularly check for, update, and remove old versions of Java unless used for Tulane applications including Banner and TAMS. If unsure, please contact security for clarification.
- Don't click on web popups, but close the window instead. If popups won't close, open your process list and force your browser to close.
Information Security will provide continued updates about his issue. Please follow Information Security at https://twitter.com/tulaneInfoSec. If you have questions or require further detail about this issue, please email us at security@tulane.edu.
