Is Google Chrome Vurnerable to Zero Day Java Exploit like IE?

Question

I've seen IE 6 to 10 can be easaily exploited using the Zero Day Java Exploit (CVE-2013-0422) And If the IE have been exploited.. We can access the hardisk file even cookies or password.. That's very dangerous

This is the screenshot

And Google Chrome must be have the Java extention..

The question is Is Google Chrome can be potential to the Java 0 Day Exploit.???

Answer 1

Yes. If the browser has Java enabled (not Javascript) then it is just as vulnerable as anything else running a vulnerable version of Java. This applies for Firefox, Safari, etc.

The only way to protect yourself is to disable the Java plugin/extension and wait for a patch.
