Sun Microsystems and Research In Motion have issued critical bug fixes for security issues with their products.
The patches were issued separately on Tuesday, with Sun releasing version 6 Update 17 of its Java Runtime Environment and BlackBerry updating its BlackBerry Desktop Software, used to sync data between the BlackBerry and a PC.
Both updates include fixes for critical security bugs that could be abused by attackers to run unauthorized software on a victim’s computer, although none of the flaws appear to have been publicly known before Tuesday.
Sun patched 12 Java bugs in total, including flaws that could be exploited to crash a computer or allow untrusted applications to run as though they were trusted.
