Oracle Java released a critical security update to Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The full internal version number for this update release is 1.6.0_29-b11 (where "b" means "build"). The external version number is 6u29.
The critical update is a collection of patches for multiple security vulnerabilities in Oracle Java SE. The update includes twenty (20) new security vulnerability fixes, of which six (6) are applicable to JRockit.
The update to Java SE 6u29 follows Java SE 6u27. Java SE 6u28 was used as an internal build and by-passed in favor of the current release of Java SE 6u29.
Although Java is not required (See Do You Need Java?), if you do have Java installed on your computer, it is advisable to install the latest update. It is also advised that all prior (and vulnerable) versions of Java SE be uninstalled from your computer.
