This is a note for those who manage their own machines. We’re taking care of this for machines that we manage.

If you’re running Java, please make sure you’re at the absolute latest version of either 1.6 or 1.7. Anything earlier is vulnerable. The below stories deal with the details. The simple summary is that if you don’t have a need for Java, disable it.

do it again. 😉

A few stories hitting the wires include:
