No.

Yes.

Oracle has certainly made a mess of it.  (Among other things, they decided to 
co-opt the acronym "CPU", intending it to stand for "Critical Patch Update"; I 
guess they were unaware it had any prior meaning.)

As far as the affected versions go, that column means the specified version and 
all priors are impacted, and all later versions include the fix.  Not at all 
clear.

Then you get direct weekly e-mails from Oracle describing what's in each CPU, 
when it will be available, and what build number it will be.

> What about Java 9?

That's included in the e-mails mentioned above.  It's still in major flux, so 
no one should be using it in production or anywhere else that can be accessed 
from the internet.

> What about Java 5?

Not supported, unless you pay lots of money, in which case you get e-mails.
