Yes, all OS's are affected because Java is cross platform. I am not
sure if any of the previous version are affected or if only the
current release is affected.
The primary concern is Java applets run by your browser. The
vulnerability allows a zero-day browser exploit that as yet is not
patched by Oracle. The primary concerns I have heard of are
installation of keyloggers and installation of ransomware. I would
assume the malware will use the JVM to run and would be cross
platform. AFAIK, Oracle has not yet announced when a patch will be
available.
As I mentioned in another note, I'm running OpenJDK, not Oracle Java.
So the question becomes is it a problem in general with Java or just
Oracle's.
