msm1267 writes "Oracle has once again released an emergency Java update to patch zero-day vulnerabilities in the browser plug-in, the fifth time it has updated the platform this year. Today's update patches CVE-2013-1493 and CVE-2013-0809, the former was discovered last week being exploited in the wild for Java 6 update 41 through Java 7 update 15. The vulnerability allows for arbitrary memory execution in the Java virtual machine process; attackers exploiting the flaw were able to download the McRAT remote access Trojan." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Oracle+Rushes+Emergency+Java+Update+To +Patch+McRAT+Vulnerabilities%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.l y%2FWEHvx9) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F03%2F04%2F2320253%2Foracle-rushes-emergency-java-update-to-patch-mcrat-vulnerabilities%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medi um%3Dfacebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/03/04/2320253/oracle-rushes-emergency-java-update-to-patch-mcrat-vulnerabilities?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
