Sun Updates for Multiple Vulnerabilities
What to do:
Solution
Apply an update from Sun
Sun has released updates that fix these vulnerabilities. As illustrated on
the Java website, follow these instructions to update your version of
Java:
1. From the Start menu, open the Control Panel.
2. Click the Java icon to open the Java Control Panel. (If you do not see
the icon, Java is probably not installed on your computer.)
3. Select the Update tab and click the Update Now button. (If you do not
see an Update tab, your version of Java does not support updates, or you
must log in as an Administrator.)
We also recommend enabling Automatic Updates for Java. To enable Automatic
Updates, go to the Update tab of the Java Control Panel and select the
Check for Updates Automatically check box.
Leaving older versions of Java on your computer after the update could
expose you to security risks. You may want to remove the older versions by
following Sun's instructions.
