So far there is ONLY a patch for 10.7 and 10.6 (AND Software Update ONLY downloads and installs the patch if you actually have Java installed; it is not installed by default on 10.7).


There is no patch for 10.5, 10.4, 10.3, 10.2, 10.1, nor 10.0


The current suggested advice is to disable Java (NOT JavaScript) in your browser.


Safari -> Preferences -> Security


Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins
