I will copy another answer [/questions/991053 given by Alice] ----- You don't need to do anything since Java 7 Update 51 is not vulnerable (afaik) and is the recommended version offered at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and http://www.java.com/en/download/ If you check the "[http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 Do I have Java?]" link at http://www.java.com/en/download/ and run the Java Detection applet it will tell you that you have the recommended Java installed (Version 7 Update 51).
