I think you are correct.  The issue is not present in Java 6. :)

Here's a Chicago Tribune story on Java security problems:

We use Java 6 in order to run Banner.  This article seems to suggest that Java 6 doesn't have the problem.  People in 
my department have started to ask me what to do.  What do you all think?
