Does the current version of Java address the security concerns highlighted by the U.S. government this week?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
No. But, then again it doesn't affect any Snow Leopard or earlier OS. See, amongst others, this: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/625617

Not yet. Whether Java 6 is included is still being discussed. See http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/01/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-java-exploit/. Apple is attempting to block all versions of Java prior to v1.7.0.19 in Safari and Google has done something similar with Chrome.

That's the question, isn't it. FWIW, I'm running SL, received the Xprotect update, and still see this:
Just saw that Oracle's released vers 11 which fixes the exploit.
