It does, but most of them seem to be related to sandboxing untrusted
code (I didn't read them all). Are there any security issues that makes
Java less secure than a language like COBOL or assembler? E.g. allow
someone on your system running Java code under their userid to gain
access they don't already have?
I'm processing SMF data in Java, and I don't really see that as a
security risk, even though some people tell me it is, because Java.
(They also keep telling me Java is slow, you can't use it for SMF data
etc...) I wouldn't suggest people skip security maintenance, but I don't
think you're creating a vulnerability just by running a Java program.
But I'm not a security expert.
