Apple Finally Patches Java Vulnerability

Posted by kdawson on from the gentlemen-restart-your-sandboxes dept.

macs4all writes "Apple has finally addressed the Java vulnerability that nearly everyone else patched months ago. Available now for OS X 10.4 and 10.5, and through Apple's Software Update service, this update patches a flaw in the Java Virtual Machine that could potentially allow a malicious Java applet to execute arbitrary code on the machine. Apple had previously advised users to turn off Java temporarily in their Web browsers."

    ...that doesn't suck more dick than barney frank.

    He may be soft and talk with a lisp, indicating a submissive personality and a penchant for peter puffing, but he is a senator, after all, so maybe he is a dom and gets his dick sucked. In fact, I bet he hasn't choked down a senate page salami since he was one. But he definitely wears lingerie. I think that's obvious.

    He's a congressman, not a senator. He's also a well known bottom. A few years ago, he took one of his underage pages to thailand for gay sex. At the time, it was legal, though now it's not (although I don't think congress should be trying to legislate what an american citizen does in another country aside from treason and the like).
