IcedTea-Web 1.2 vs Java 1.7 vulnerability

Do the CERT warnings about the vulnerability in Java1.7 and earlier 
versions also apply to IcedTea-Web 1.2 ?


When I go to a Java version identification web site it says I have 
SunMicrosystems  Java 1.6.24  which  is not on the list from CERT. 
However Oracle Java 1.6.24 is on the list.    I am using FireFox 17.02 
on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS...

I have disabled IcedTea in FireFox out of caution ...  Should I have 
worried about it or do these warnings not apply to Linux

  Enlightenment would be appreciated.
