We have just issued an update for this in Mageia 1 today, and java-1.6.0-openjdk in Cauldron was fixed on Sunday. +Since our Java plugin uses 1.6.0 instead of 1.7.0, our exposure to these vulnerabilities is reduced, but they are still there. At the very +least the "IcedTea" in the package needs updated to either 2.0.1 or 2.1. The "OpenJDK" in the package may need to be updated as well.
