Ubuntu has sent out an announcement that it will be pushing a security update that disables the Sun JDK browser plugin on all machines. It seems that there are several security issues with this plugin, but, due to a change in licensing by Oracle, it is no longer possible to create packages with the fixes. The best solution appears to be to switch to OpenJDK.
