    Available for: Mac OS X v10.6.3, Mac OS X Server v10.6.3

    Impact: Multiple vulnerabilities in Java 1.6.0_17

    Description: Multiple vulnerabilities exist in Java 1.6.0_17, the most serious of which may allow an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox. Visiting a web page containing a maliciously crafted untrusted Java applet may lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user. These issues are addressed by updating to Java version 1.6.0_20. Further information is available via the Sun Java website at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/releasenotes-136954.html

Java For Mac Users Manual

  • This is my first MAC ever and I'm still trying to get the hang of navigating my way around. Anyway, I'm also new to Java and I've been practicing on my Windows PC before it permanently died. Now that I'm on this MAC, I installed my JDK and now I need to set the JAVAHOME environment variable.
  • However, Apple users MUST be provided with Java patches at the same time as Windows users. Delaying Java patches for Mac users is NOT acceptable. I have verified that the direct download file, at least the current version from Apple, FAILs the Mac OS X 10.7 fsck check during file verification.
