Yes, with different versions installed under different paths/directories
there will be a java executable under each installation. The JAVA_HOME
path will probably be updated to the lastest install, but with the older
versions hanging around java code can be ran from these installs of
JDK/JRE.
This doesn't occur it the update overwrites the existing install, but
generally sun java installs a separate dir per each version, or at least
has been my experience.

Subject: Sun Java Runtime Security
There has always been some confusion from my side with issues relating
to Sun Java on the desktop. We all probably have seen the security fixes
for Sun Java but I have one question that has never been fully
addressed. If I apply the latest Sun Java 2 Runtime and I have older
versions installed as well can someone execute a vulnerability that
exists in the older runtime?
