             Summary: UIMA-DUCC: restrict JMX access when running with older java
                 Key: UIMA-5636
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5636
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: DUCC
            Reporter: Jerry Cwiklik
            Assignee: Jerry Cwiklik
             Fix For: 2.2.2-Ducc


Older java contain JMX related security vulnerability as described by CVE-2016-3427. DUCC processes run with JMX enabled by default and the java vulnerability can be exploited. 
The main fix is to run with a newer java. These are the versions of java that contain the fix:

   IBM - 1.7.0.40, 1.7.1.3_40, 1.8.0.3.0
   Oracle (Sun) - 1.7.0_101+, 1.8.0_91+
   Java 9 (Oracle & IBM)

Ducc code should introspect java version at runtime and lock down JMX when running with a version that is known to have the vulnerability. External JMX access should not be allowed.
