Oracle is expected to release 113 patches across its product lines tomorrow as part of its quarterly Critical Patch Update. Java 7 versions will continue to work on the end-of-life Microsoft Windows XP platform and Oracle security updates for Java on XP machines will continue. The same cannot be said for JDK 8, which is not supported on XP, in fact, has known issues with the installer and likely won t load onto an XP computer. The vulnerabilities affect not only Java SE, but also JRockit, Oracle s Java Virtual Machine built into Oracle Fusion Middleware.
