The 90% of desktops currently at risk comes from numbers presented at the Java One Keynote in 2008. If you aren’t patched, get the Java control panel up and get updated, or go to Sun’s site to download the update, cause this one’s big.

Yesterday Sun released JRE Version 6 Update 7 that according to Sun address eight issues.

238666 Native code execution through malformed TrueType font headers in untrusted Java applet.

238905 Multiple buffer overflows in Java Web Start JNLP handling

238905 Security problems with the JRE family version support
