Updated versions of the JRE for Windows and Linux operating systems are available through. Mozilla strongly encourages anyone who requires the JDK and JRE to update to the current version as soon as possible on all platforms.Īffected versions of the Java plugin will be disabled unless a user makes an explicit choice to keep it enabled at the time they are notified of the block being applied. A blocklist entry for the Java plugin on OS X may be added at a future date. To mitigate this risk, we have added affected versions of the Java plugin for Windows (Version 6 Update 30 and below as well as Version 7 Update 2 and below) to Firefox’s blocklist. This vulnerability-present in the older versions of the JDK and JRE-is actively being exploited, and is a potential risk to users.
