Sun Java sandbox
vulnerability - you need to update now!Tuesday November 23rd, 2004, the details of a
vulnerability in Sun Java were announced. It was discovered in June and
the fix has been out for a month now. The problem is that this is not
something that an update from Microsoft can fix. You are more than
likely using Sun Java and that means you are vulnerable to this
attack unless you update now. I've provided a link here for you to do
that.

Security experts have warned that millions of computer desktops are
at risk from a newly discovered vulnerability in Sun Microsystems' Java
Virtual Machine (JVM).
IT security firm CyberGuard claimed that the Java flaw, which is
present in the JVM on most desktop computers, "poses a significant
security threat because it will not be closed by the usual Microsoft
update process".
