Well the main security flaws with Java (6 and 7) are with the plugin for browsers - most got fixed with last update - to be safe just deactivate Java plugin in your browser and activate only when needed...already stated in this thread....

As there are still flaws that couldn't be fixed in the latest (fast made emergency ) update there will be the next on Feb 19 (tomorrow) - i'll update OP anyways...

OP updated - Java SE 7 u15 (JRE, JDK), Java SE 6 u 41 (JRE), Apple MacOSX Updates for Java SE 6 (1.6.0_41.), IcedTea

!Attention Java 6u39 users! - it seems that you have to deinstall your java 6 u39, download 6 u 41 (url in OP) and install manually - if you run automatic update or run update process manually latest Java SE 7 gets installed :

Auto-update and manual update of JRE 6 will replace JRE 6 with JRE 7

Since JRE 6 has reached its End of Public Updates Oracle is taking steps to protect consumer desktops. We will not leave a version of Java installed for which we no longer provide security updates .

In order to do so, when updating from JRE 6, the update mechanism will not only install the latest version of JRE 7 but will also remove the highest version of JRE 6 on the system. This change will happen when the system is updated via the auto-update mechanism or by checking for updates directly from the Java Control Panel.

Users who need to keep a version of JRE 6 in their systems can do so by manually installing the latest version of JRE 6 rather than relying on auto-update or updates through the Java Control Panel.

If JRE 6 has already been removed from a system, but the user would like to restore it, earlier versions of Java can be accessed from the Java Archive.

Note that Oracle strongly recommends leaving only up-to-date versions of the JRE on desktops. Retaining an older version of the JRE in your systems should only be done by expert users or enterprise administrators with a need for those earlier versions and an understanding of the associated risks.


FYI - Updated Release of the February 2013 Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update ReadMe

delfer Apple is still on Java 6 and thus only updates that - you'll have to grab Java 7 at Oracle manually - url in OP
