I don't see any cause for alarm on servers, including on z/OS. To the extent the applet runtime environment is modified for security reasons I expect the server implementations to get updated for behavioral consistency, but it's no emergency in my view. Unless you make it a habit of affirmatively downloading Java programs from unknown sources and running it with limited or no external controls on the Java runtime. In which case you're already in trouble, particularly if you're using an operating system and Java implementation that the author of the malicious program anticipated and tested.
