Jahrelang hat Apple Java für sein Mac OS selbst bereit gestellt und im Grunde versucht es loszuwerden.
Doch jetzt hat man sich mit Oracle geeinigt, dass der Java-Hersteller diese Aufgabe übernehmen soll. Mac-Benutzer sollen in Bezug auf Java also Windows- und Linux-Nutzern gleichgestellt und somit früher als bislang mit Sicherheits-Updates versorgt werden.

What is "jailbreaking" and "rooting"? iOS: Jailbreaking is the process of modifying iOS system kernels to allow file system read and write access. Most jailbreaking tools (and exploits) remove the limitations and security features built by the manufacturer Apple (the "jail") through the use of custom kernels, which make unauthorized modifications to the operating system. Almost all jailbreaking tools allow users to run code not approved and signed by Apple. This allows users to install additional applications, extensions and patches without the control of Apple’s App Store.
Android: Rooting is the process of gaining administrative or privileged access for the Android OS. As the Android OS is based on the Linux Kernel, rooting a device is analogous to gaining access to administrative, root user-equivalent, permissions on Linux. Unlike iOS, rooting is (usually) not required to run applications outside from the Android Market. Some carriers control this through operating system settings or device firmware. Rooting also enables the user to completely remove and replace the device's operating system.

Apple may have appeared to have pulled off a coup in persuading Oracle to maintain Java for Mac but can Oracle be trusted to get it right?
The emergence of the Flashback Trojan - which exploited a vulnerability in Mac OS X's version of Java - earlier this year led to a lot of flak for both Oracle and Apple. The vulnerability was known about and fixed in the Windows and Linux versions of Java, but remained exposed in OS X for several more weeks.
===> The fact that Apple is ultimately responsible for maintaining Java on OS X saw Apple's ability to protect its users questioned. <===

Many risks are possible from a compromise including using the web server into a source of malware, creating a spam-sending relay, a web or TCP proxy, or other malicious activity.
The operating system and packages can be fully patched with security updates and the server can still be compromised based purely on a poor security configuration.
