Java users at risk ...
- http://community.websense.com/blogs/...-exploits.aspx
4 Jun 2013 - "... collecting telemetry... to provide insight into usage of the most recent version of Java... almost 93% of users are still not patched to the most recent version of Java. This leaves the majority of users still vulnerable to the dangers of exploit code already in use in the wild... So 1 month after release, the remaining 92.8% of users remain vulnerable to at least one exploit in the wild... the April 2013 Java Critical Patch Update contained 42 new security fixes, of which 39 may be remotely exploitable without authentication. We saw that on April 20, 2013, to illustrate the danger of just one of these 39 remote execution vulnerabilities, Metasploit published a module to exploit a vulnerability in CVE-2013-2423*. We have observed this particular exploit code incorporated into exploit kits and used in the wild..."

Less Than 1 Percent Of Enterprises Run Newest Version Of Java
Most businesses have multiple, outdated versions of the app on their endpoints, new report finds
- http://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabi...ndly=this-page
July 18, 2013 - "... More than 90 percent of organizations are running a version of Java that's at least five years old, and 82 percent of endpoints run Java version 6, according to a new report by Bit9 that investigated Java installations in the enterprise. There are an average of 1.6 versions of Java on every endpoint, and nearly half of all endpoints have more than two versions of the application. Fewer than 1 percent run the newest version of Java: version 7 Update 25, Bit9 found... why don't enterprises merely purge older versions of Java? It's the old legacy application problem. Applications that are tied to a specific version of Java could lose functionality if only the new version of Java were running..."

Java 6 0-Day exploit-in-the-wild
- https://community.qualys.com/blogs/l...it-in-the-wild
Aug 26, 2013 - "CVE-2013-2463 is a vulnerability in the Java 2D subcomponent, that was addressed by Oracle in the June 2013 Critical Patch Update for Java 7. Java 6 (including the latest u45) has the same vulnerability, as Oracle acknowledges in the CPU, but since Java 6 has become unsupported as of its End-of-Life in April 2013, there is no patch for the vulnerability... this time, things have become a bit more serious. As Matthew Schwartz reports in Informationweek*, F-Secure has seen exploits for this vulnerability in Java 6 in the wild. Further they have seen it included in the Neutrino exploit kit, which guarantees that it will find widespread adoption. In addition, we still see very high rates of Java 6 installed (a bit over 50%), which means many organizations are vulnerable..."
