Get your Java fix here

 

 

Java has released a fix for 40 vulnerabilities (including Apple)

These vulnerabilities affect the Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Development Kit (JDK) 7 Update 21 and earlier on all platforms.

An attacker can exploit users by luring them to a malicious web page containing specially crafted Java. 

The best thing to do is Install JRE and JDK 7 Update 25 (or Apple’s OS X update)

Oracle released JRE and JEK Update 25 to correct 40 vulnerabilities which they consider to be high risk.  Most of the flaws are remote code execution issues in the worst case scenario, this malicious code could allow someone to take control of your computer.   If you own an Apple Computer, Apple has released a Java update for OS X.  Mac users should update their Java as well.

If you use Java, download and install the Java update to protect your computer.  You may often see pop-ups on your screen asking you to update Java.  If you do, please do the update.  Otherwise you can get to the update by clicking this link  Oracle's June Java Security Advisory.

If you don’t use Java, uninstall it.
