Funny story about Java vulnerability (tangental to the OP, but whatevs), the company i work for, who is very super-serious about protecting confidential information (we deal in names, personal info, social security numbers, federal background checks) has their system running entirely on a Java-based program...

Java is fine, it's the browser plugin that's had all of the vulnerabilities.

And by there you can gain access to the computer itself. I know that some hackers that were able to do a ransomware (basically it lets you restrict access to the computer) and you can also install viruses in the computer.
