After listening to Steve Gibson on Security Now wednesday's Netcast This Morning, I was wondering How I was going to BLOG about the Java 7 Vulnerability. The one that someone in Chatroom Quipped:
"Write Once, Infect Every Where...".
Turns out Oracle Did-Not Drag Its Patch Fix This Time (The Quarterly Update Schedule patch would come in October).
They Put Out A PATCH Today....

Oracle Patches Java 7 Vulnerability
Breaking its quarterly update schedule, Oracle has released a new Java runtime that addresses recent security flaws.
In response to the findings of a recent vulnerability in Java 7 that was being exploited by malware developers, Oracle has released an official patch that takes care of the problem.
In the past week, a new vulnerability was unveiled in Oracle's Java 7 runtime, which has been used by hackers in targeted attacks on Windows-based systems. Similar to the recent Flashback malware in OS X, this vulnerability allows criminals to create a drive-by hack where the only action needed to compromise a system is to visit a rogue Web page that hosts a malicious Java applet.

all users of Java 7 apply the update.
