/>Overview -- Java 7 Update 10 and earlier contain an unspecified
vulnerability that can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to
execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system./
/>We recommend that regardless of what browser and operating system
you're using, you should uninstall Java if you don't need it. If you do
need it, use a separate browser when Java is required, and make sure to
disable Java in your default browser.///
Most 'media' sites recommend the same action (perhaps they got it from
the same source) - I can't help but feel a little sorry for Java and the
conspiracist in me is firing up.
If I had a dollar for every time there was a windows/IE.NET
vulnerability with the same risk (/allow a remote, unauthenticated
attacker to execute arbitrary code)/ ... and no media outlet suggests
uninstalling windows or .NET.
