Sun Microsystems issued a patch Tuesday to address seven "highly critical" flaws in its Java Runtime Environment that could allow a malicious attacker to gain remote control over a user's system.
The flaws affect systems running on Windows, Solaris and Linux that are using certain versions of Sun's Java Development Kit 1.5, Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.3 and 1.4, and JRE 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 5.0, or earlier, according to an advisory issued by Secunia, which rated the flaws as "highly critical."
