Hi all, I am not sure if this is the correct list for this message. I recently read this article about a Java 1.7 Security Problem.
The article states "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has recommended that users disable the Java 7 browser plug-in entirely".
There have been multiple security vulnerabilities in the browser plug-in over the years and it is best not to enable java in your browser.
Does this problem concern LibreOffice and Java???
No. It only affects the browser plug-in.
This macrumors article post and reads that this problem effects java versions 4-7. At the moment oracle are at java 7. http://www.macrumors.com/2013/01/11/apple-blocks-java-7-on-os-x-to-address-widespread-security-threat/
The full title of the article is "Apple Blocks Java 7 Plug-in on OS X to Address Widespread Security Threat"
