- ·The Metasploit module only confirmed exploitation on Windows x86 (XP SP3) with JRE 1.6.0_u11 and 1.6.0_u16, despite all listed versions being reportedly vulnerable; Mac OS X PPC and x86 targets exist but were not validated ↗
- ·The PoC for OSX Leopard 10.5 uses a different offset (1080 slashes) and different heap spray addresses than the Snow Leopard variant, indicating exploit parameters vary by minor OS build ↗

Sun has released updates to address multiple security vulnerabilities in Java SE.
Successful exploits may allow attackers to bypass certain security restrictions, run untrusted applets with elevated privileges, execute arbitrary code, and cause denial-of-service conditions. Other attacks are also possible.
These issues are addressed in the following releases:
