As far as I know all the older Ubuntu-releases are affected because of a serious security-glitch in the older Sun/Oracle-packages. I do think the older Linux Mint releases too because they all are using the Java-packages from the Ubuntu-repository. Now Ubuntu is folding back the whole issue for older releases too and will replace the older (insecure) packages with empty 'dummy' packages. Please find the attachment enclosed:

Will all of the Ubuntu-based Linux Mint-releases be affected too? Will all of the Java-packages to be replaced manually? Who knows the answer?

Mint ubuntu editions use the ubuntu repos therefore any changes there will cause changes here.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.
“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.
