That would be Oracle who now owns and supports Java.

Java 6 TZ Updater access is only available via
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=1412103.2
which may now require an Oracle support contract, and running on
MS Windows XP may also only be supported with a contract.
Legacy support from any vendor may be expensive.

Does your organization not maintain archived copies of older JRE, JDK,
and TZ Updater for your legacy environments?

Java 7 and 8 TZ updater is available at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/tzupdater-download-513681.html
which you could try, but the bug report you mention implies code was updated to 6u91,
so even if you update the data, some zones may not work properly.
