Did I miss Java 2012-003 or is it new...?

I just had Software update pop up offering me Java 2012-003, which states "This Java security update removes the most common variants of the Flashback malware." Is this a new one today or have I just been slow updating? 😱

Yeah it's new. It's the third Java update of recent. I think this is the removal tool that's been talked about.

It hadn't made it to the front page when I'd started writing the post. In fact I searched the forum for it first, which turned up nothing.
