Description
Oracle Java SE version 6 includes the Oracle Java Runtime Environment and
the Oracle Java Software Development Kit.
Oracle Java SE 6 will not receive updates after February 28, 2013. The
Oracle Java SE 6 packages on the Oracle Linux 5.x and 6
Supplementary media and in Red Hat Network (RHN) channels will continue to
be available.
Red Hat will continue to provide these packages only as a courtesy to
customers. Red Hat will not provide updates to these packages after this
date.
Once customers update their system by installing the packages associated
with this advisory, the Oracle Java Web Plug-in will be disabled. As a
result, customers who rely on Java-based browser applets may need to
re-configure their browser to use one of the Java implementations listed
in the Solution section below.
All users of java-1.6.0-sun are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages.
