    Java exploit code available for recently patched vuln ...
    ZDI-12-039: Oracle Java Web Start java-vm-args Command Argument Injection Remote Code Execution
    - http://atlas.arbor.net/briefs/index#-2068343742
    Severity: High Severity
    Feb 24, 2012 - "Exploit code is available for a recently patched Java vulnerability.
    Analysis: Oracle patched a series of Java security issues in February and at least one of these issues now has publicly available exploit code, as published in the Metasploit framework. While Metasploit is intended for authorized penetration testing purposes, attackers have no such scruples and will happily leverage freshly published exploit code to develop their own and incorporate the exploit into their malware kits. Such exploits also pay off for the attackers who launch targeted attacks, as many targets do not patch in a timely manner."

    Severity: High Severity
    Published: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 19:20
    Java security vulnerability patched in February is now being used widely by criminals to install malware.
    Analysis: Patch! Watch for outdated Java on the network as the presence of old Java User-Agents is often a sign that a system has been exploited and Java is now doing the attackers bidding, typically downloading something evil.

    Update 29-03-12: "... Until an update is released that addresses the vulnerability, Mac OS X users can turn off Java. Users can disable Java via Java Preferences (Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences) by unchecking the installed version. Alternatively, users can disable Java in each of their browsers; in Apple's Safari browser, this can be done by unchecking the "Enable Java" and "Enable JavaScript" under the Security tab in Safari's Preferences..."

    Aug 15, 2012 - "... the latest Java version from Oracle is 7u6, also known as 1.7.0_6. If you don't intend to develop Java programs yourself, stick to the JRE. It's much smaller than the JDK, which reduces what's known in trendy-speak as your attack surface area. That's always a good thing. This new Java version includes a longish list of bugfixes*. These include: a few ominous-sounding ones with more than a whiff of vulnerability about them, such as 7166498 - JVM crash in ClassVerifier; the risky-sounding 7155051 - DNS provider may return incorrect results; and the intriguingly sticky-sounding 7178177 - Debug spewage when applets start up. With that in mind, I suggest you update as soon as practicable."

    New critical Java flaw claimed

    26 Sep 2012- "Oracle's Java is making a play to wrest back the title of world's leakiest code from Internet Explorer, after Polish researcher Adam Gowdiak claimed another critical flaw exists in the product. The -new- claim is stated on the Full Disclosure mailing list where Gowdiak writes that the newly-found flaw impacts “all latest versions of Oracle Java SE software” and that it allows “a complete Java security sandbox bypass in the environment of Java SE 5, 6 and 7.” That's apparently worse than previous exploits, as they only hit Java 7..."
