Is this Java 7 security thread an issue if you have Java 7 installed but not as the default?
- by user1361315
I have a MBP with osx mountain lion installed, and I believe from what I read Mac's only ship with Java 6 by default.
I'm not at my computer at the moment, but I am pretty sure I have installed Java 7 but it isn't my default java version (I think I installed it and I have to explicitly reference it to use it).
Does this mean I am safe from this particular thread?
