Well, that's an easy question, and also docummented [1]. The JDKs available 
in Debian are Sun's JDK 1.1 (is it vulnerable?) and Kafee (ditto) (notice 
that IBM-JDK was an installer-only package in 'stable'). The 
newer JDKs/JRE are _not_ available (they are at Blackdown). 

In any case, this is also non-free software (i.e. unsupported) you might
want to mention it to the security team but it will go to the end of the
"to fix " queue.
