Sun has released Update 8 to for JRE 5.0 for download. As an earlier diary discussed, versions prior to 5.0, Release 6, allowed applets and/or applications to call earlier unpatched versions. What is the risk to me? Having the ability to call earlier, unpatched versions could potentially allow an attacker to run her/his code of choice along with it. The Java Runtime Environment and Java Developer Kit both have release 8.0 available for download here.
