Oracle Java Quarterly Critical Security Update, July 2016

Recommended Posts

Oracle released the scheduled critical security updates for its Java SE Runtime Environment software and, once again, released two versions.

 

The updates contain (thirteen) 13 new security fixes for Oracle Java SE of which (nine) 9 of these vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password.

 

Although most people do not need Java on their computer, there are some programs and games that require Java. In the event you need to continue using Java, How-to Geek discovered a little-known and unpublicized option in the Java Control Panel to suppress the offers for the pre-checked unwanted extras.

 

  • Launch the Windows Start menu
  • Click on Programs
  • Find the Java program listing
  • Click Configure Java to launch the Java Control Panel
  • Click the Advanced tab and go to the "Miscellaneous" section at the bottom.
  • Check the box by the “Suppress sponsor offers when installing or updating Java” option and click OK.

 

Download link: Java SE 8u101

Java SE 8u92 can be found here. Select the appropriate version for your operating system.
