As usual, there’s yet another security hole in the Java Runtime Environment, and if you don’t disable your Java plugin, you’re at risk for being infected with malware. Here’s how to do it. |

Here?s how to do it. Oracle posted an updated version today (Aug 30). Perhaps it resolved these vulnerabilities ... perhaps not ! Researchers find critical vulnerability in Java 7 patch hours after release http://www.cio.com/article/715219/Re..._after_release " Security researchers from Poland-based security firm Security Explorations claim to have discovered a vulnerability in the Java 7 security update released Thursday that can be exploited to escape the Java sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the underlying system. Security Explorations sent a report about the vulnerability to Oracle on Friday together with a proof-of-concept exploit, Adam Gowdiak, the security company's founder and CEO said Friday via email. The company doesn't plan to release any technical details about the vulnerability publicly until Oracle addresses it, Gowdiak said. snip Based on the experience of Security Explorations researchers with hunting for Java vulnerabilities so far, Java 6 has better security than Java 7. "Java 7 was surprisingly much easier for us to break," Gowdiak said. "For Java 6, we didn't manage to achieve a full sandbox compromise, except for the issue discovered in Apple Quicktime for Java software." Gowdiak has echoed what many security researchers have said befo If you don't need Java, uninstall it from your system. " Ouch !

Here’s how to do it. My Firefox usually disables most versions of the Java runtime plugin anyways. Never miss it on websites, but it's still useful in a local environment, as I have some Java apps that run locally. Yousuf Khan |
