On December 3, 2009 Apple released an updater for Java on the Mac OS X platform. This updater closes some security holes that were present in the J2SE-Version 1.4.2, the most serious of which was the ability for non-authorized Java applets being able to obtain higher permissions on the system.

This Update pushes Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_17 onto the Mac OS X platform and is available for Intel Macs of versions OS X 10.6.2 or later.
