RE: Will there be an openjdk-7 security update for wheezy?
Another possibility is to use the oracle java instead of the openjdk as described here:

The issues would be fixed by the means of the upload of a new version of
OpenJDK to wheezy-security. However, last time I tried there were some bugs in
the new version that even prevented the test suite from finishing.
In other words, the security issues are going to be fixed whenever there is a
new version of OpenJDK that doesn't introduce too many known regressions and
that works at a minimum level.
