> Critical Patch Available for Microsoft Java Virtual Machine
>
> Microsoft has released a patch that eliminates a security
> vulnerability in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that could
> allow a malicious attacker to redirect a user's Internet
> session to a destination of the attacker's choice, or to run
> code that captures user activity and gathers sensitive personal
> information such as user names and passwords.  Microsoft
> recommends that customers upgrade to Microsoft JVM build 3805
> or later. This update, rated critical severity by Microsoft,
> should be applied to all Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, NT,
> 2000, and XP systems.
