- nbpoole 16y agoThey've had that available for a week: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html#fpupdater http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/inde... This fixes a number of other vulnerabilities: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpufeb2011-304611.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpufeb...
- pasbesoin 16y agoAlso, as I understand it from another story, 6u24 doesn't break the update mechanism, while the FP bug patch does/did. Ah, here's the mention, in the ReadMe link located in your first linked document: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/fpupdater-tool-readme-305936.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/fpupdater-tool... The FPUpdater tool is not intended for use on systems managed through auto-update as this will disable future auto-updates. We recommend that you wait until the next Critical Patch Update (CPU) when you can update your installation by going to http://java.com/latest http://java.com/latest . (Whether you want auto-update is, I guess, a separate question, though not an insignificant one.)
