Security researchers have called on Oracle Java 6 users to upgrade to Java 7 as soon as possible to avoid being a victim of active network attackers.

Timo Hirvonen, a senior analyst at F-secure, issued a security warning on Java 6 on Twitter this weekend, called CVE-2013-2463.

CVE-2013-2463 issues Oracle has been fixed in critical patch updates for Java 7 released in June 2013. But Java 6 also has this problem, but Java 6 will not be updated after April 2013, so there is no patch for Java 6.

Qualys, a cloud security provider, describes this vulnerability as an implicit zero-day vulnerability and may be widely used.

A large number of users are still using Java 6, which exceeds 50%!
