Hey frenzz..
day later, after the Finnish antivirus company F-Secure has published data on the distribution of Java-Flashback.K Trojan for the Mac, Apple has released an updated Java for Mac OS X Lion 2012-001 and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 7.
Currently, updates are available for systems Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and 10.7.3 Lion, as well as to their server options.



According to the description, the new version of the package contains more than a dozen vulnerabilities, including vulnerabilities that allow code executed outside of the isolated performance of Java, as well as the vulnerability exploited by the Trojan Flashback.Full list of updates and changes is available on the Oracle Web site at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...es-136954.htmlToday F-Secure warned about the vulnerability of Java-threatening users of products from Apple. According to F-Secure, PC Mac, were exposed to known malicious software Flashback. Recall that a Flashback - a Mac-Trojan, first discovered in September 2011. The first versions of the code have been presented as installers Flash Player (of course, fake), but now this has replaced the Trojan guise, as well as functional, and distribution methods. In February, several anti-virus companies have reported a new type of distribution Flashback with Java-exploits, which means no need for user interaction.Previously, many antivirus companies have repeatedly said that Apple was slow to release updates to its version of Java, but the company did not heed these words, and what the authors have used the Mac-Trojan.
