We are testing the patch for the DNS-related bug and the class loader
bug, and we'll be releasing that as soon as humanly possible. (early
next week)
The fix for the DNS-related bug is that we're associating the IP
address with the applet, and from then on, only allowing the applet to
connect to that exact numerical IP address.
The fix for the class loader bug is to for the verifier to check for
and reject classes whose first character is /.
We'll post full details on how to get the release on our "What's New"
page, at http://java.sun.com/new.html, and we'll make an announcement
to java-interest@java.sun.com.
