Is MATLAB affected by the Homeland Security Vulnerability Notice regarding Java?

On January 10, 2013, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness team issued a Vulnerability Notice for the Oracle Java Runtime Environment: https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/625617.

This notice recommends that Java be disabled in web browsers.

[MathWorks Support Team]

MATLAB uses Java, but this notice only pertains to disabling Java in web browsers. Although MATLAB does have an embedded web browser, running Java applications inside this web browser is not supported. Therefore, we do not believe that there should be an impact on MATLAB due to this Vulnerability Notice.
