#Java for mac download 10.5.8 update#

And as noted by MacGeneration on Thursday, Apple has again updated its OS X XProtect list, this time to block Java 7 Update 11.īecause Oracle has yet to issue a newer version of Java that addresses any outstanding issues, Mac users are prevented from running Java on their system.

Over the last few years, Apple has moved to gradually remove Java from OS X. The Mac maker dropped the Java runtime from the default installation for OS X 10.7 Lion when the operating system update launched in 2010. Java vulnerabilities have been a common exploit used by malicious hackers looking to exploit the OS X platform. Most notably, the 'Flashback' trojan that spread last year was said to have infected as many as 600,000 Macs worldwide at its peak. Apple addressed the issue by releasing a removal tool specifically tailored for the malware, and also disabled the Java runtime in its Safari web browser starting with version 5.1.7. Javascript should not be disabled (it has nothing to do with Java). that was only a temp solution ?Īfter 24hours and restarting the client, the obove mentioned plist will be downloaded automaticly from apple again.Īpple blocks now every (at this time currently official available) Java version. The latest official java version is 1.6.0_37-b06-434 for the web-plugin and 1.7.11.21 for the runtime, that you could get from Orcacle: īut Apple blocks all lower versions then 1.6.0_37-b06-435 for Webplugin and 1.7.11.22 for rumtimes via their XProtect Anti-Malware System, whats came ith 10.6.Ĭurrently we have to workaround that, every 24hours after a reboot of the clients. In our Enterprise, we run a management platform, where i can configure logon-scripts to change the versions in the plist back to the current available, but in fact that means, Orcle or Apple have to release a Java-Update. We are in the position that we need java to run certain applications from 3rd party companies for our work in the company. This is the only way to get our users ready for work.

Hard decision Apple.Īt the moment, no Mac-Computer worldwide is able to run any Java-Applicationwithout the temporary workaround before a newer Java Version will be released and installed. There is a newer Java Version out there, but its for developers only, and i have no developer account. I've posted this elsewhere, isn t the best but is fairly fast and has been proven in the wild: For 10.6.8 users, the only 'fix' I have that works so far: Deleting the XProtect source file that lists the blacklisted Java (supposedly it can also be edited in Terminal). Using Finder, go to System - Library - CoreServices and righ-click on CoreTypes.bundle. Scrolling to the end will show in the list, I deleted that file and then was able to run.Ĭhoose Show Contents and then go into Contents, then the Resources folder in the new window that opens. Upon a reboot this file will get re-built, however, so it isn't permanent fix. Going into System Preferences and Security, clicking the lock icon to change settings (enter password) and unchecking the 'Automatically update safe downloads list' prevents the file from getting rebuilt. This isn't the safest bet for people who are not the safest of computer users, but should be OK short term. Only Java and Flash are listed in the file, really, so not too big an issue since Java 6 update 37 should be the only Java installed.
