But really the problem ain't Java but Java applets.
Don't know about you but I find it fascinating how many comments fail to make a distinction between the vulnerable 'javaws' (i.e., applets) and the far more common 'java' vm. This 'mistake' illustrates both java competitor astroturfing and simple ignorance on the part of those commenting. Are there other potential reasons so many don't know or intentionally obfuscate the difference between java and javaws?
- pjmlp 14y agoPlain ignorance. Many don't even make a difference between Java the language and Java the VM with all its multiple implementations from vendors all around the World. This security exploits most of the time are only relevant to Oracle's VM.
