New Java Vulnerability Found Affecting Java 5, 6, and 7 SE

jcatcw writes "Just as Oracle is ramping up for the September 30 start of JavaOne 2012 in San Francisco, researchers from the Polish firm Security Explorations disclosed yet another critical Java vulnerability that might 'spoil the taste of Larry Ellison's morning ... Java.' According to Security Explorations researcher Adam Gowdiak, who sent the email to the Full Disclosure Seclist, this Java exploit affects one billion users of Oracle Java SE software, Java 5, 6 and 7. It could be exploited by apps on Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari. Wow, thanks a lot Oracle."

Java runtime vs. .NET runtime

What is with Java and all these exploits? It's the most exploited piece of software on planet. I think they should learn something from Microsoft's .NET runtime. It's installed on pretty much every Windows computer out there. Still there are no exploits against it! Microsoft seems to know what they're doing much better than Oracle
