Apple finally (after six months) released a Java update which includes the fix to this security issue.

You can either download the update, which can be get for OS X 10.5.x from here or here for OS X 10.4.x or simply fire up Software Update...

Sorry but it doesn´t work, neither your link or by using the software update? This fix does´nt seem to exist.

Sorry, the link was broken. Fixed now.

Thanks!

when I did software update before, it downloaded, but then install failed. I'll try the self download and see if thatworks.

Dunno about local install, but SU works just fine here

I applied this and now I need to go in safe mode to even boot in my pc. It keeps rebooting on normal boot.

Don't know if the update did this or not.

I never quite understood why it takes forever for Mac users to get a Java update after Windows/Linux/everyone else in the world.

One of those strange little quirks, that can turn into an very evil quirk.

HELLO OBVIOUSLY... simple answer to that... the authors are Windows & Linux developers... after they create it.. its sent for Porting to other distributions softwares(all linux builds, windows builds... etc.. and at the end mac)

=P Its reality get used to it
