Hello Maintainers,
i have a question about this sun-java bug

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alert-cve-2010-4476-305811.html

Oracle said they will release a new/fixed java version at the 15th feb., 
when will be such a new version in the stable release as security fix?

Because i have to fix it manually with this Update Tool for the FP Bug, 
if the package updates will not be as fast as possible.

https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=fpupdater-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer

It is a huge security and stability bug for my systems (tomcat) and i do 
not find a bug report in the bugtracker.

greatings

thx a a lot for the new squeeze by the way
