Apple does not use Sun java. They have been slow to react to exploits.
This is partly because java isn't automatically included in the OS upgrade or install.
This may be the first confirmed in-the-wild malware on the OSX platform, but it affects a language that you must make an effort to install in your Safari browser. As I understand it, it there is a patch for Macs running OSX.

Rule #1 on any OS: do not install stuff you don't expect or recognize.
