Oracle and Apple post new Java security updates

[Dennis Piechota]

Hi all,

For those of us interested in posting and viewing RTIs on websites using the browser-based Java applet, on February 19 Oracle released another Critical Patch Update- the second this month. At the same time for those of us using Macs Apple incorporated that update into its latest system update as Java for OS X 2013-001 1.0. 

For information via Apple see:

For information via Oracle on Java version JRE 6 Update 41 see:

There are also updates issued for other Java products (e.g.: JRE 7 Update 15) so check your local needs. I'm not familiar with the Windows environment. Perhaps someone else has info on how to apply the update to Java on that platform.
