[LINK] More java headaches

[Alan Hargreaves]

Not wanting to be speaking with any kind of official hat on (I don't own 
one of those), but Oracle have publicly stated that it is a browser only 
risk.

See 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alert-cve-2013-1493-1915081.html

	This Security Alert addresses security issues CVE-2013-1493
	(US-CERT VU#688246) and another vulnerability affecting Java
	running in web browsers. These vulnerabilities are not
	applicable to Java running on servers, standalone Java desktop
	applications or embedded Java applications. They also do not
	affect Oracle server-based software.

Regards,
Alan Hargreaves
