The MacObserver <a href="http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/apple_releases_java_security_updates_for_mac_os_x_10.5_10.6/" target="_blank">story</a> has even more info on this update, probably more than you will want to read to be honest, since these updates basically fix a couple of security holes that allow arbitrary code to be executed by Java applets.</p>
