(*): ISC rating
  • We use 4 levels:
    • PATCH NOW: Typically used where we see immediate danger of exploitation. Typical environments will want to deploy these patches ASAP. Workarounds are typically not accepted by users or are not possible. This rating is often used when typical deployments make it vulnerable and exploits are being used or easy to obtain or make.
    • Critical: Anything that needs little to become "interesting" for the dark side. Best approach is to test and deploy ASAP. Workarounds can give more time to test.
    • Important: Things where more testing and other measures can help.
    • Less Urt practices for servers such as not using outlook, MSIE, word etc. to do traditional office or leisure work.
    • The rating is not a risk analysis as such. It is a rating of importance of the vulnerability and the perceived or even predicted threatatches.

Out-of Order Java Update

Oracle released an emergency update for Java [1]. The nature of the flaw, and how the update fixes the flaw, is somewhat obscured. According to Oracle's advisory, the user would first have to install malicious software, then install Java. So it doesn't appear to be exploitable on any system that has Java already installed. The Oracle advisory also states that an exploit is complex.

At this point, I don't see a compelling reason to "rush out" this patch. Deal with it as part of your regular patch process. Some of the Microsoft patches to be released later today are likely more important.
