Article is pure FUD from from MS lapdog ZDNet
First, the article makes no mention what the vulnerability is.
Second, it makes no mention that the vulnerability affects Java 1.5 or prior, and is fixed by patches which were issued 3 months ago, and does not affect Java 6 at all.
Third, the main detail, and the headline, say it's "as bad as it gets". Again, without detail explaining why the vulnerability is "as bad as it gets".

Ridiculous. But not surprising considering this is ZDNet.
