Posted by timothy on from the suck dept.

DrWho520 points out this report at silicon.com which begins "A flaw in Sun's plug-in for running Java on a variety of browsers and operating systems could allow a virus to spread through Microsoft Windows and Linux PCs. The vulnerability, found by Finnish security researcher Jouko Pynnonen in June, was patched last month by Sun, but its details were not made public until Tuesday." The hole affects Linux and Windows.
