Why is it called "In the wild"?
Are there a bunch of crazed woodland creatures passing away their time hacking and not hibernating? Serious side: Java has been and is known for running on most architectures and being able to affect them. An exploit on a SPARC64 machine can be used to control i386 clients. Did the particular developer of the code in question test it for vulnerabilities? Sometimes there should be more people like deRaadt when it comes to code. |

Oracle issued an emergency update over the weekend (JRE 7 Update 11) which some reports have called insufficient. Here's an in-depth article.

The problem with Java is so apparent that one of my friends who is not into computers/OSes/architectures as I am had mentioned it.
