If you're using Cauldron as a workstation and have the Java plugin (icedtea-web
or Sun Java) enabled in your browser, be aware there's a zero-day vulnerability
being actively exploited, and you should disable the plugin for general usage
until we have a fix.

If you're using icedtea-web on Mageia 2 you're not affected, as that uses Java 6
which is not known to be vulnerable.
