Bug#649594: sun-java6-jre: update it to 6.29?

[Marius Mikucionis]

Package: sun-java6-jre
Version: 6.26-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: security

Hello,

Is there any luck of providing more recent version as Oracle is
distributing 6.29 (1.6.0_29)?

I read that the old Java might be used in breaking SSL in a
man-in-the-middle attack setting (
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/19/oracle_patches_java/ ), Chrome
insists that current version is outdated
and in Denmark electronic banking systems use Java applets over https for
authentication.

Sorry for being vague, but it is very strange that it has not been updated
for quite a while now.

Marius
