Re: Oracle Java SE 7u9 and 6u37 released

said by kickass69:

Seems unacceptable to only release critical security updates every 4 months...

/sigh

Those are the scheduled dates. In the case of serious flaws they release "out of band" versions. For example

»Java 7 update7 released today to patch zero day vulnabilty

As it turns out more exploits were made public just after that release.

»Java 7 update7 has security vulnerability

» Java flaw allows complete bypass of security sandbox

Oracle decide to wait until yesterday (10/16/2012) to release a fix.

Yes I'm aware of the timeline of said vulnerabilities and obviously the schedule. I'm disagreeing with it is all. They should be putting out more out of band security updates sooner for major issues like this like a lot of major and even smaller outfits do vs waiting a month or two.
