Do your clients still have Java 6 (aka 1.6.x)?? Well....

I just wanted to let everyone know, or remind those that already know that Java 6 / JRE 6 is now EOL and that you will not be seeing any new patches for it and that it has a lot of serious vulnerabilities in it.  The last public version was 1.6.0_45

 

If your company needs Java 6 still, that can purchase extended support from Oracle and get the new patch(es) and create their own Custom Definitions (you can clone the last JRE 1.6 patch and modify as needed as a template) to patch their systems.

 

Ignoring outdated versions of Java is one of the most serious mistakes you can make!

 

LANDesk should be releasing one of their new "EOL" detection rules (patches as many of us call them) for this version in the near future, these "EOL" patches will only detect EOL products and alert you to their existence, but will not remove them... You could though clone it and add your own removal or upgrade commands.
