Karin,

The article refers to a simple exploit that allows a Java programme to
burst out of the sandbox if you're using MS Java based email readers,
Outlook for example. The best way to correct this bug is to download the
patch from Microsoft. A temporary solution is to disable the option
scripting of Java applets and not like the article says to disable
active scripting as this is an unnecessary overkill.
Some would say that an even better way to correct all MS security bugs
is to use something else ;)
