Oracle has released updates for all of its Java packages . The updates include a variety of bug and security fixes across all the affected Java products.
You can download the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Developer Kit (JDK) appropriate for your computing environment from the Java downloads page .
Java browser plugins that are not updated as part of a JRE update will require separate updates, in some cases from the web browser developer (Chrome, Internet Explorer).
It is unclear whether these updates include fixes for the vulnerabilities reported in late September 2012 . Update 2012-Oct-25 : Apparently they do not , according to security researcher Adam Gowdiak.
