Apple has shipped security fixes for a number of bugs in its Java implementation. Apple s patch release on Wednesday included several fixes for vulnerabilities in both Java for Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.4. Microsoft recently issued a warning about the extent of the Java security issues. Java has become a favorite target of attackers and Java bugs have become such a problem that Microsoft has warned that Java bugs are becoming more widespread. Apple may well not include Java in future versions of the OS.
