The patch for this should be out now, I think.

Also, the changeset that introduced this vulnerability has a hilarious commit message: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/rev/e02f2d591cd5

Java and Flash, your computer will crash.
Adblock on Firefox, it really rocks.

I was EXTREMELY hesitant to even bother with it, But you can literally speed up (crappy) computers and thier internet by blocking all those flash ads that load and play
