Chrome reports Icedtea needs a critical security patch

[Stephen Baynes]

Attempt to use a java applet in Chrome gives a banner "The IcedTea plug-in was blocked because it was out of date" with options to "run this time" or to "update plug-in". Clicking on "update plug-in" takes one to http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/section/3/170/ which is not very informative.

Thank you for using Ubuntu and reporting a bug. IcedTea was recently updated in http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1263-1/, so this should be fixed now.
