Oracle Java Quarterly Critical Security Update January 2016

Oracle Java Quarterly Critical Security Update January 2016


java


Oracle released the scheduled critical security updates for its Java SE Runtime Environment software and, once again, released a subsequent update that includes "bug fixes". 

Unwanted "Extras"

Although most people do not need Java on their computer, there are some programs and games that require Java.  In the event you need to continue using Java, How-to Geek discovered a little-known and  unpublicized option in the Java Control Panel to suppress the offers for the pre-checked unwanted extras that Oracle has long included with the updates.  Although the Ask Toolbar has been removed, tha does not preclude the pre-checked option for some other unnecessary add-on.

Do the following to suppress the sponsor offers:
  1. Launch the Windows Start menu
  2. Click on Programs
  3. Find the Java program listing
  4. Click Configure Java to launch the Java Control Panel
  5. Click the Advanced tab and go to the "Miscellaneous" section at the bottom.
  6. Check the box by the “Suppress sponsor offers when installing or updating Java” option and click OK.

Oracle Java Critical Security Update

Oracle Java Critical Security Update


java


Oracle released the scheduled critical security updates for its Java SE Runtime Environment software. 

This is a Critical Patch Update that affects Oracle Java SE, versions 5.0u71, 6u81, 7u67, 8u20.  From The Assurance Blog:
"Out of the 154 vulnerabilities fixed with today’s Critical Patch Update release, 31 are for the Oracle Database. All but 3 of these database vulnerabilities are related to features implemented using Java in the Database, and a number of these vulnerabilities have received a CVSS Base Score of 9.0."

Unwanted "Extras"

Oracle has long included pre-checked options with the updates.  Although most people do not need Java on their computer, there are some programs and games that require Java.  In the event you need to continue using Java, How-to Geek discovered a little-known and  unpublicized option in the Java Control Panel to suppress the offers for the pre-checked unwanted extras.

Windows XP

There has been a lot of recent controversy regarding Java updates for Windows XP.  While Windows XP has reached end of life, Java 7 will continue to be updated until April, 2015.

Thus, organizations and individuals who must continue using Windows XP and have Java installed can also continue getting updates for Java 7.  It is noted, however, that if an issue arises that is specific to Windows XP, Oracle is not required to and also may not be able to create a patch.  For additional information, refer to the Oracle blog post, The future of Java on Windows XP (Henrik on Java).

Update

If Java is still installed on your computer, it is recommended that this update be applied as soon as possible due to the threat posed by a successful attack.

Oracle VM Virtual Box

Oracle VM Virtual Box


VirtualBox (now called as ORACLE VM Virtualbox) is an extremely feature rich, high performance powerful x86 and Oracle Virtual Box - theprohack.comAMD64/Intel64 virtualization software for enterprise as well as home use.Exaggeratingly,it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Developed by virtualization pioneers Innotek limited (later acquired by SUN Microsystems, now owned by ORACLE),Virtualbox is cross platform and extremely easy to use. Even a true novice can get a hold on VirtualBox due to its intuitive interface and rapid configuration wizards.

VirtualBox supports a wide array of platforms including Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), Solaris and OpenSolaris, and OpenBSD.

VirtualBox running Fedora 10 on Ubuntu 8.10 - theprohack.com

VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. I guess with VirtualBox on board with ORACLE, VBox has got a quite bright future (unless Oracle doesnt starts proprietary shit with it).

Meanwhile, you can download it from here

On Vacation but Java updates from Oracle and Apple Be sure to have the UNmessed up Apple Java update!!! and Adobe Flash Update

On Vacation but Java updates from Oracle and Apple Be sure to have the UNmessed up Apple Java update!!! and Adobe Flash Update


--

Im on a break while I work on other things. But here is some quickie news. I expect, if youre a regular reader, you know how to dig up the URLs and CVE reports by now.

I) MASSIVE CRITICAL Java update from both Oracle and Apple, including 40 (FORTY) security patches. Apples update is for Java version 1.6 only, the part of Java included in OS X. The update is for OS X 10.6 - 10.8.

II) Apple MESSED-UP their original Java update release, which was labeled "JavaForOSX2013-003". This mess KILLED Java and must be updated with what replaced it: "JavaForOSX2013-004". From my experience, Software Update did NOT provide me with the updated version. I had to grab oo4 myself and apply it myself. You may have to do so as well.

Here is an article to help you sort out whether you got STUNG by Apples mess or not, and how to clean it up. Thank you to 9to5Mac.com:

Bug in Apple Java update – now fixed, but check you have the correct version

III) Adobe tossed out a scheduled Flash update that patched one critical security hole. If you use Flash any more, be sure you have applied this latest update.


OTHER AMUSING NEWS: 

Im running into hilarious FUD about the MacKeeper crapware from none other than one of their competitors. They claim you can REMOVE crappy MacKeeper by installing THEIR crappy software instead. Needless to say, avoid replacing crap with crap. If you foolishly installed MacKeeper, go to their website to learn how to UNinstall it.

Also amusing: Apparently crappy MacKeeper has been sold to some other company, who apparently have changed none of crappy ZeoBITs evil marketing moron tactics. But at least it is good to know that everyones efforts to kick ZeoBIT in the dangly bits has been successful. ZeoBIT is now out of the picture, hurray. Lets hope their crapware is soon to follow.


Also note: There has been a rash of Microsoft Office specific malware. I personally dont care or follow such malware. Youre on your own if you still put up with Microsoft. But its worth noting that Office malware continues. Check out my net buddy Thomas Reeds The Safe Mac security blog for details. I believe Intego and Sophos have been following this scourge as well. Links to their sites are on the right of this page.

Enjoy the summer!
Stay cool.
Stay kewl.

Oracle VM VirtualBox v4 3 8 Build 92456 Virtualizer App

Oracle VM VirtualBox v4 3 8 Build 92456 Virtualizer App


Icon

Download Oracle VM VirtualBox v4.3.8 Build 92456 


Halo sobat semua! pada kesempatan sebelumnya saya sudah membagikan sebuah aplikasi untuk menjalankan aplikasi android di Windows yaitu BlueStack Offline Installer, nah kali ini saya juga akan membagikan sebuah aplikasi yang fungsinya hampir mirip dengan aplikasi Bluestack tadi karena bisa digunakan untuk menjalankan yang tidak bisa dijalankan yaitu Oracle VM VirtualBox. Dengan aplikasi Open Source VirtualBox ini sobat bisa menjalankan sistem operasi lain di sistem operasi yang sobat gunakan! lebih tepatnya OS didalam OS. Jadi dengan aplikasi ini sobat bisa mencoba Linux di Windows, Ubuntu di Windows, Android di Windows dan Solaris OS di Windows bahkan sebaliknya. Tampilannya sih simple karena OS tadi kita hanya divirtualisasikan dalam jendela VirtualBox ini. Jadi tidak perlu otak-atik sistem komputer sobat. Untuk menggunakannya sobat juga memerlukan sebuah file ISO master OS untuk divirtualisasi terlebih dahulu.
