I didn't know that D.H.S. tests software for programming vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. Evidently Java has one, and Sun Systems said they will fix it soon.
I guess D.H.S. has its own top-quality hackers to find ways to eye down the bad guys and gals. Its good they reported one they found.
The recommendation is to temporarily disable Java. If one has firefox its easy to disable Java; simply go to add-ons and select plug ins and click the disable Java button.
update- Oracle issued an emergency patch for Java, yet some experts say it will take two years to fix.
