A Google researcher has published details of the Java virtual machine error (JVM) can be used to run unauthorized programs on your computer.

The attack was researcher Tavis Ormandy of Google announced. Mr. Ormandy said, had previously announced to the team's Sun about Oracle vulnerabilities. They informed me that they do not see this flaw is high enough priority to break the cycle of their patches quarterly," Mr. Ormandy wrote."I do not agree with this claim."

Oracle declined to comment on this issue. The company has just released a major update to Java last week and the next patch they will be released in July 2010. Attacks can give hackers a way to illegally run Java programs on the victim's computer. We can do this because Java allows developers to install the required JVM Java library instead. By creating a malicious library, then report it to the JVM installed, an attacker could run malicious programs of his.

Marc Maiffret, architect of FireEye security reviews, Oracle was wrong to not patch immediately. This error particularly annoying because it happens by design flaws in Java. This flaw affected "all versions since Java SE 6 update for Microsoft Windows 10," he says Ormandy. According to Symantec, Linux users may also be affected.
