Actually the story is about a *JavaScript* security hole in IE. Java and
JavaScript are, despite the names, two quite different things.

On the whole, and inevitable bugs aside, Java is much more likely to be
secure than JavaScript since it was designed from the ground up with
security in mind, whereas JavaScript has had security features retrofitted.
