PS Let us make it a two-in-one java alert: http://www.securityweek.com/multiple-java-instances-keep-enterprise-systems-vulnerable-attack-report
link source Security Week’s Fahmida Y. Rashid
it would be really nice if Oracle joined the MS security initiative …
since Adobe and some others joined it, it really helped to decrease the amount of critical vulnerabilities …
anyway the whole Java 7 story is real tragedy (i can understand Java 6 was old code and under massive amount of attacks)
thanks a lot for posting this ;( the details about go totally around the Java sandbox is nasty

Ubuntu Forums got hacked
http://ubuntuforums.org/announce.html
Hi forum friends,
During my automated security scannings
I have found that an enormous amount of websites
are still vulnerable to configuration insecurities.
These insecurities are grossly underestimated
by webmasters and sloppy IT staff alike,
opening up a goldmine of unintended information for malicious attackers.
At least security through obscurity should be a priority.
Important insecurities found:
-
excessive headers
(info can be used to pinpoint security flaws to attackers). -
clickjacking (X-frame option header not returned),
malcontent can be embedded in a frame.
