Darlene Storm: Another critical Java vulnerability puts 1 billion users at risk


Yet another new critical Java vulnerability was discovered by researchers at
Security Explorations. This Java bug is even worse than the last and puts one
billion users of Oracle's Java SE (Java 5, 6 and 7) at risk. It could be
exploited using these browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and
Safari. If you visit a malicious website, attackers who exploit this Java bug
could gain total control of your PC. Interview the Adam Gowdiak, CEO of Security
Exploration, the firm that disclosed this newest critical Java flaw.
