Java Patch Plugs 19 Security Holes

Summary: Oracle released its quarterly Java patch, bringing Java 7 to Update 75 and Java 8 to Update 31 and fixing at least 19 security vulnerabilities. Qualys notes that 13 of those flaws are remotely exploitable with a CVSS score of 10, and Oracle plans to use Java 7's auto-update function to migrate those users to Java 8 this week.
What you should know: Thirteen remotely exploitable flaws at the maximum CVSS score of 10 sit in a program with a very broad install base where many users do not even know they have it installed.
