Only ever use java for one internal work app behind a firewall and it’s only enabled in the browser that I restrict for that one purpose. That one app is a must have but since it’s only ever used behind a firewall and that with a corporate app I feel fairly safe. Don’t use it in the wild and don’t think I ever will.

So, does this mean we can use Java again?

I’m not going to forget how the Javans disparaged Microsoft and everyone and everything else, even when nearly all of the Java-built systems were running on Windows.

"The majority are vulnerable through browser plugins, 11 of which are exploitable for complete control of the underlying operating system,"

I'd be surprised if this is true on Unix hosts. Are they really claiming to be able to do priviledge escalation?
