http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp will let you know if you have the latest version. Patch as soon as possible because by default the auto-update program only checks once a month.

Every patch fixes some vulns, thats the point of it. Wouldnt say this one is any more severe than the others.

People need alerting.

If you don't use Java the best thing to do is just get rid of it. Same with adobe reader and flash.

Agreed. Plenty of decent alternatives to Reader. Sumatra is my favourite or just open with Google Chrome.
