Security researchers from Poland-based security firm Security Explorations claim to have discovered a vulnerability in Java 7. The vulnerability can be exploited to escape the Java sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the underlying system. Oracle broke out of its regular four-month patching cycle on Thursday to release Java 7 Update 7, an emergency security update that addressed three vulnerabilities, including two that were being exploited by attackers since last week. Oracle declined to comment on whether it will release a new Java security update in October as it previously planned.”]
