The latest issue of SANS NewsBites notes that Sun have recently
released patches for "11 critical vulnerabilities in its Java Runtime
Environment (JRE)" affecting Windows, Linux and Solaris.  At least
some of these vulnerabilities appear to affect FreeBSD as well.

Are their plans to update the FreeBSD Java ports?
