Oracle has released a slew of patches for its Java platform, fixing a total of 29 bugs in Java SE and Java for Business. Several of the flaws allow a remote attacker to take complete control of a vulnerable machine. Java is among the more widely deployed technologies on the Web and it is now a favored vector for attackers looking for a common and easy way into machines. Some of the bugs that Oracle patched Tuesday are issues raised by security researcher Sami Koivu. Oracle is urging customers to install the fixes immediately.
