Chrome browser isn't affected:

  affecting Java SE running in web browsers on desktops. 
  This vulnerability is not applicable to Java
  deployments, typically in servers or standalone desktop
  applications

It's ridicoulus how many security problems the browser plugin has. good that it is deprecated and maybe removed when 9 will hit
