Java Embedding Plugin 0.8.8, security fix

The Java Embedding Plugin is a utility that allows other web browsers than Apple's Safari to use the most recent versions of Java (1.4.X) on Mac OS X. When used together with an updated version of Mozilla's MRJ Plugin Carbon (included in this distribution), the Java Embedding Plugin's functionality is currently available to recent versions of Mozilla, Firefox and Camino. But in principle any web browser could use one of the Java Embedding Plugin's two APIs to add support for Java 1.4.X.

Version 0.8.8 of the Java Embedding Plugin fixes the "Sun Java Plugin Arbitrary Package Access Vulnerability", which is a security hole caused by a flaw in the LiveConnect implementation of Sun/Apple's Java Virtual Machine.

Older versions of the Java Embedding Plugin are vulnerable. If you're using one you should upgrade as soon as possible.
