And the problem is ?
``The vulnerability has been reported in JDK/JRE 5.0 Update 3 and prior on Windows, Solaris and Linux platforms. SDK/JRE 1.4.2_xx and prior, and 1.3.1_xx releases are not affected.''

Interesting, JDK/JRE 5.0 Update 4 has been out since earlier this year and we are already at Update 5.

What is the problem again? Thesw seem to be defects already fixed two updates ago.

"But, if Java has some defect must be equally defective to other defective s/w" ... Right?
