If you have the update available from Apple, install it to resolve either that is applicable. There was another Java issue discovered that effected SE 6, separate from the one effecting Java 7.

It's the only problem ever to hit a Mac now that Flash is a goner, and it's just not worth the hassle. You should write a post on how to disable Java everywhere, and if you don't have Java installed, don't bother with it. Most of us just don't need it.

How can an update to Java 6 fix the problem recently discovered in Java 7? You even point out that users of Java 6 were "safe" in your own linked article. This certainly fixes a lot of other problems, and it deactivates Java applets for people to protect them from future flaws, but it has nothing to do with that specific danger. Excuse me?
