The JDK includes tools useful for developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language and running on the Java TM platform. Apple also notes that “These updates include the security content from Java for OS X 2012-003 and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8.” More information about the vulnerabilities fixed in this update is available from the Oracle website. Users can download this update via Software Update, or from Apple’s Downloads page.
Description
A Critical Patch Update is a collection of patches for multiple security vulnerabilities. The Critical Patch Update for Java SE also includes non-security fixes. Critical Patch Updates are cumulative and each advisory describes only the security fixes added since the previous Critical Patch Update. Thus, prior Critical Patch Update Advisories should be reviewed for information regarding earlier accumulated security fixes. Please refer to:
Critical Patch Updates and Security Alerts for information about Oracle Security Advisories.
Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply CPU fixes as soon as possible. This Critical Patch Update contains 14 new security fixes across Java SE products.

Risk Matrix Content
The risk matrix lists only security vulnerabilities that are newly fixed by the patches associated with this advisory. Risk matrices forprevious security fixes can be found in previous Critical Patch Update advisories.
Security vulnerabilities are scored using CVSS version 2.0 (see Oracle CVSS Scoring for an explanation of how Oracle applies CVSS 2.0). Oracle conducts an analysis of each security vulnerability addressed by a Critical Patch Update (CPU). Oracle does not disclose information about the security analysis, but the resulting Risk Matrix and associated documentation provide information about the type of vulnerability, the conditions required to exploit it, and the potential result of a successful exploit. Oracle provides this information, in part, so that customers may conduct their own risk analysis based on the particulars of their product usage. As a matter of policy, Oracle does not disclose detailed information about an exploit condition or results that can be used to conduct a successful exploit. Oracle will not provide additional information about the specifics of vulnerabilities beyond what is provided in the CPU or Security Alert notification, the Patch Availability Document, the readme files, and FAQs. Oracle does not provide advance notification on CPUs or Security Alerts to individual customers. Finally, Oracle does not distribute exploit code or “proof-of-concept” code for product vulnerabilities.
Workarounds
Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply CPU fixes as soon as possible. Until you apply the CPU fixes, it may be possible to reduce the risk of successful attack by restricting network protocols required by an attack. For attacks that require certain privileges or access to certain packages, removing the privileges or the ability to access the packages from unprivileged users may help reduce the risk of successful attack. Both approaches may break application functionality, so Oracle strongly recommends that customers test changes on non- production systems. Neither approach should be considered a long-term solution as neither corrects the underlying problem.
Skipped Critical Patch Updates
Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply fixes as soon as possible. For customers that have skipped one or more Security advisories, please review previous advisories to determine appropriate actions.
Unsupported Products and De-Supported Versions
Unsupported products, releases and versions are not tested for the presence of vulnerabilities addressed by this Critical Patch Update. However, it is likely that earlier versions of affected releases are also affected by these vulnerabilities. Hence Oracle recommends that customers upgrade their Oracle products to a supported version.
Critical Patch Update patches are not provided for product versions that are no longer supported. We recommend that customers upgrade to the latest supported version of Oracle products in order to obtain patches.

Oracle Java SE Executive Summary
This Critical Patch Update contains 14 new security fixes for Oracle Java SE. All of these vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password. The English text form of this Risk Matrix can be found here.
The CVSS scores below assume that a user running a Java applet or Java Web Start application has administrator privileges (typical on Windows). When the user does not run with administrator privileges (typical on Solaris and Linux), the corresponding CVSS impact scores for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability are 'Partial' instead of 'Complete', lowering the CVSS Base Score. For example, a Base Score of 10.0 becomes 7.5.
For issues in Deployment, fixes are only made available for JDK and JRE 7 and 6. Users should use the default Java Plug-in and Java Web Start in the latest JDK and JRE 7 or 6 releases.
My Oracle Support Note 360870.1 explains the impact of Java security vulnerabilities on Oracle products that include an Oracle Java SE JDK or JRE.

System Requirements for Installing the JDK on macOS
The following are the system requirements for installing the JDK on macOS:
- Any Intel-based computer running macOS.
- Administrator privileges.You cannot install Java for a single user. Installing the JDK on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. Administrator privileges are required to install the JDK on macOS.
Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS
Java.com/en/download/mac_java_update Secure Virus Malware
When starting a Java application through the command line, the system uses the default JDK.
There can be multiple JDKs installed on the macOS system.
You can determine which version of the JDK is the default by entering
java -version
in a Terminal window. If the installed version is 11 Interim 0, Update 0, and Patch 0, then you see a string that includes the text 11
. For example: To run a different version of Java, either specify the full path, or use the
java_home
tool. For example: $ /usr/libexec/java_home -v 11 --exec javac -version
Installing the JDK on macOS
- Download the JDK
.dmg
file,jdk-11.
interim.update.patch-macosx-x64.dmg
.Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement. - From either the browser Downloads window or from the file browser, double-click the
.dmg
file to start it.A Finder window appears that contains an icon of an open box and the name of the.pkg
file. - Double-click the
JDK 11.pkg
icon to start the installation application.The installation application displays the Introduction window. - Click Continue.
- Click Install. A window appears that displays the message: Installer is trying to install new software. Enter your password to allow this.
- Enter the Administrator user name and password and click Install Software.The software is installed and a confirmation window is displayed.
After the software is installed, you can delete the
.dmg
file if you want to save disk space. Uninstalling the JDK on macOS
You must have Administrator privileges.Note:
Do not attempt to uninstall Java by removing the Java tools from
/usr/bin
. This directory is part of the system software and any changes will be reset by Apple the next time that you perform an update of the OS. - Go to
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
. - Remove the directory whose name matches the following format by executing the
rm
command as a root user or by using thesudo
tool:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-interim.update.patch.jdk
For example, to uninstall 11 Interim 0 Update 0 Patch 0:$ rm -rf jdk-11.jdk
Installation FAQ on macOS Platform
This topic provides answers for the following frequently asked questions about installing JDK on macOS computers.
1. How do I find out which version of Java is the system default?
When you run a Java application from the command line, it uses the default JDK. If you do not develop Java applications, then you do not need to worry about this. See Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS.
2. How do I uninstall Java?
See Uninstalling the JDK on macOS.
3. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, can I continue to use Apple's Java 6 alongside the macOS JDK for Java 11?
If you want to continue to develop with Java 6 using command-line, then you can modify the startup script for your favorite command environment. For bash, use this:
$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11`
Download fortnite for macbook safe free pc. Some applications use
/usr/bin/java
to call Java. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, /usr/bin/java
will find the newest JDK installed, and will use that for all of the Java-related command-line tools in /usr/bin
. You may need to modify those applications to find Java 6, or contact the developer for a newer version of the application. 4. Can I restore Apple Java after uninstalling Oracle Java?
Go back to Apple Java using the following instructions:
- Uninstall Oracle Java by deleting the plug-in file. From a command-line, enter:
$ sudo rm -rf '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin'
- Create a symlink using the following command, entered on a single line:
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin'
5. What happened to the Java Preferences app in Application Utilities?
The Java Preferences app was part of the Apple Java installation and is not used by Oracle Java. Therefore, macOS releases from Apple that do not include Apple Java will not include Java Preferences.
