Oracle released the scheduled update for its Java SE Runtime Environment software. This is a bugfix and critical security update.

This Critical Patch Update contains thirteen new security patches for Oracle Java SE. Eleven of these vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without requiring user credentials.

Java Security Recommendations

1) If Java is still installed on your computer, it is recommended that all updates be applied as soon as possible and older, less secure, versions uninstalled.
2) In the Java Control Panel, at minimum, set the security to high.
3) Keep Java disabled until needed. Uncheck the box "Enable Java content in the browser" in the Java Control Panel.

Download Information: Java SE Runtime Environment Version 8u411: https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
