Oracle has released an emergency Java security update to fix a critical vulnerability that could allow attackers to compromise computers when they visit specially crafted websites. Polish security firm Security Explorations confirmed via email that the new Java update actually fixes a broken patch for a vulnerability that the company originally reported to Oracle in 2013. The company has assigned CVE-2016-0636 as the identifier for the vulnerability, which suggests that it is a new flaw discovered this year, but that’s not really the case. Java users are advised to install the newly released Java SE 8 Update 77 (8u77)”]
