Apple has just released Java Release 6 for Mac OS X 10.4, which, in addition to updating Java software, provides dozens of security fixes for Java 1.4 and J2SE 5.0. It’s actually amazing to see how many updates this fixes; there are a total of thirty security fixes in this release. This update is for Tiger users only; one has to wonder if a Java security update is due for Leopard as well, or if these holes have already been patched in Mac OS X 10.5. If they have, why did it take so long for Apple to fix them for Tiger?
