DESCRIPTION:
Apple has issued an update for Java for Mac OS X. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
gain escalated privileges and by malicious users to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service) and by malicious people to manipulate certain
data and potentially compromise a user's system.

For more information:
SA37291
SA39762

1) An error when handling Mach RPC messages within updateSharingD can
be exploited to execute code with privileges of another user who runs
a Java application.

2) An error when handling Java applet window bounds can be exploited
to corrupt memory via a specially crafted applet.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Apply updates.
