The Inquirer posted a story that Oracle has released a Java security update for OS X



Oracle has updated its Java products, releasing Java Platform Standard Edition 7 Update 6, JavaFX 2.2, and JavaFX Scene Builder and increased security for Apple Mac OS X versions.

The firm has boosted security and support for Java on Mac OS X, adding that the release will soon be available to download from the Java.com web site and is available now at Java.oracle.com.

Once in place, patches for Java on Mac OS X will come out at the same time as those for Windows, and Apple Mac OS X Java users might be spared virus infections like Flashback, which happened earlier this year.
