Apple has updated Java for Mac OS X 10.5, promising improved reliability, security and compatibility. Other recent Mac OS X updates are also listed.Apple states the update delivers improved reliability, security and compatibility.
The update addresses multiple security vulnerabilities in each of the three versions of Java that can allow privilege escalation so an untrusted applet may run with the privileges of the current user.
It also addresses a vulnerability that allowed a malicious Java Web Start application to cause arbitrary code execution.
The update still leaves the Mac's version of Java behind other platforms. For example, the current version of Java SE 6 is 1.6.0_16.
