SV-81401r1_rule Oracle JRE 8 must have a deployment.properties file present.

Vulnerability discussion

By default no deployment.properties file exists; thus, no system-wide deployment exists. The file must be created. The deployment.properties file is used for specifying keys for the Java Runtime Environment. Each option in the Java control panel is represented by property keys. These keys adjust the options in the Java control panel based on the value assigned to that key. Without the deployment.properties file, setting particular options for the Java control panel is impossible.

Check content

Navigate to the system-level “deployment.properties” file for JRE. /etc/.java/deployment/deployment.properties If there is no file entitled “deployment.properties”, this is a finding.

Fix text

Create the Java deployment properties file “/etc/.java/deployment/deployment.properties”

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
