Apple updates Java on Mac OS X

Apple has updated Java runtime for Macs to fix several security bugs and issues.

The updates have been released for both Mac OS X Tiger and Mac OS X Leopard.

The company said in an advisory that the updates fixes address a total of 38 Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) entries in Java.

Apple added that the fixes included both Mac-specific and Java-specific flaws.

Java for Mac is not developed by Sun. Apple provides it from its own sources and as a result they are often slower at providing all the latest patches available on other platforms.
