ET POLICY Vulnerable Java Version 1.8.x Detected

[Jonathon Elwood <jaelwood () gmail com>]

I'm running snort version 2.9.7.0 pkg v3.2.3 (this is pfsense version
2.2.1).

I'm getting an alert for some of my machines that have Java installed (ET
POLICY Vulnerable Java Version 1.8.x Detected).  These are Windows 8.1
machines and I verified that I have the latest version of Java.  Java
version "1.8.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b26)

Any idea why snort would trigger this alert with this version of Java?
