Microsoft: drive-by Trojan preying on out-of-date Java installations
on August 20, 2010
A piece by Marian Radu on Microsoft’s Technet Blog is warning that users who have failed to update the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on their machines are vulnerable to drive-by downloads by a Trojan called Unruy. That Trojan has been associated with rogue security products. Radu said the vulnerability (which was patched in March) is being actively exploited.Browsers running JRE versions up to version 6 update 18 are vulnerable. The current JRE version today is version 6, update 21.
