Another vulnerability discovered in Java

If you thought (or hoped) that security issues but by Java resolved with last update, released a week ago… don't lose hope for the next one update. A few days ago it was discovered a new vulnerability affecting all versions of Java 7including updateits most recent.

The new flaw was verified to affect all versions of Java SE 7 (including the recently released 1.7.0_21-b11). It can be used to achieve a complete Java security sandbox bypass on a target system. Successful exploitation in a web browser scenario requires proper user interaction (a user needs to accept the risk of executing a potentially malicious Java application when a security warning window is displayed).

Unfortunately Java continue to be exploited by cybercriminals because it is installed on the 1 2 computers (Perhaps at a higher rate), thus occupying a leading place among the targets appealing to hackers. And Oracle He managed to create a rather bad reputation lately, due to security issues and vulnerabilities that still occur despite updatesecurity quite often.

If you accustomed to using Java (for different applications installedOr for a number of sites that accustomed to require Java to access and use), take great care to how use this program (I recommend using a browser separately to access sites that use Java, and disabling the Java plugin for other browsers; also does not hurt to have installed a antivirus good system). But if you do not need Java or can you be deprived of it, it is recommended uninstall it from your system (Control Panel> Oneinstall to schedule).
