TCONEWS ADMINThe following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u271 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u281 BPR releases. The following sections summarize changes made in all Java SE 7u291 BPR releases.
Note that the default enabled or customized EC curves follow the algorithm constraints. For example, the customized EC curves cannot re-activate the disabled EC keys defined by the Java Security Properties. Multiple constraints can be combined to constrain an algorithm when delimited by ‘&’. For example, to disable SHA-1 TLS Server certificate chains that are anchored by pre-installed root CAs, the constraint is “SHA1 jdkCA & usage TLSServer”. If compatibility with earlier releases is important, you can, at your own risk, use the -sigalg option of jarsigner and specify the weaker SHA1withDSA algorithm.
Java 16 updates
When the version string for the product is reported as “java version 1.7.0_3”, the product will be called JDK 7u3, JDK 7 update 3 or, when the update version is not important, JDK 7. 64-bit Windows operating systems (which may be Windows 7, Windows 8 or Vista) come with a 32-bit Internet Explorer (IE) browser as the standard (default) for viewing web pages. These operating systems java 7 certifications also include a 64-bit Internet Explorer browser. However, using it is optional, and it must be explicitly selected to view web pages. Note that because some web content may not work properly in a 64-bit browser, it is recommended that you use the default 32-bit browser and install the 32-bit JRE. The dns_lookup_realm setting in Kerberos’ krb5.conf file is by default false.
- This system property will only have impact from the JDK 7u101 and JDK 6u115 releases.
- For more information, see Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory.
- Note that bug fixes in previous BPRs are also included in the current BPR.
- Valid values for this property are integers ranging from 1 to Integer.MAX_VALUE-1.
- Therefore an Oracle specific JDK 8 Update of a new system property com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.lineFeedOnly has been made available to fall back to legacy Base64 encoded format.
- This JRE (version 7u97) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for April 19, 2016.
- Not finding the PICL library is a very minor issue, and the warnings mostly lead to confusion.
Users can disable the compression mode on their Tomcat servers as a workaround. Installing a version of the JRE that has deployment technologies support AFTER having installed the current JRE will cause the Windows Control Panel to display a non-functional Java Control panel icon. A new property, com.sun.management.jmxremote.host, is introduced that specifies the bind address for the default JMX agent.
Java 21 and Java 17 available now
Java SE Subscription customers managing JRE updates/installs for large numbers of desktops should consider
using Java Advanced Management Console (AMC). The scope of the com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustSerialData system property has been extended to control the deserialization of java objects from the javaReferenceAddress LDAP attribute. This system property now controls the deserialization of java objects from the javaSerializedData and javaReferenceAddress LDAP attributes. The behavior of HttpURLConnection when using ProxySelector has been modified in this JDK release. HttpURLConnection used to fall back to a direct connection attempt if the configured proxy(s) failed to make a connection. Beginning with this release, the default behavior has been changed to no longer use a direct connection when the first proxy connection attempt fails.
The javax.rmi.CORBA.Util class provides methods that can be used by stubs and ties to perform common operations. The javax.rmi.CORBA.ValueHandler interface provides services to support the reading and writing of value types to GIOP streams. The security awareness of these utilities has been enhanced with the introduction of a permission java.io.SerializablePermission(“enableCustomValueHanlder”). This is used to establish a trust relationship between the users of the javax.rmi.CORBA.Util and javax.rmi.CORBA.ValueHandler APIs. On some platforms, the HTTP NTLM implementation in the JDK can support transparent authentication, where the system user credentials are used at system level.
