Java (JRE) Changelog

What's new in Java (JRE) 8 Build 281

Jan 20, 2021

New Features:
security-libs/java.security:
➜ -groupname Option Added to keytool Key Pair Generation
A new -groupname option has been added to keytool -genkeypair so that a user can specify a named group when generating a key pair. For example, keytool -genkeypair -keyalg EC -groupname secp384r1 will generate an EC key pair by using the secp384r1 curve. Because there might be multiple curves with the same size, using the -groupname option is preferred over the -keysize option.
security-libs/javax.xml.crypto:
➜ Apache Santuario Library Updated to Version 2.1.4
The Apache Santuario library has been upgraded to version 2.1.4. As a result, a new system property com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.parser.pool-size has been introduced.
This new system property sets the pool size of the internal DocumentBuilder cache used when processing XML Signatures. The function is equivalent to the org.apache.xml.security.parser.pool-size system property used in Apache Santuario and has the same default value of 20.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
➜ Support for certificate_authorities Extension
The "certificate_authorities" extension is an optional extension introduced in TLS 1.3. It is used to indicate the certificate authorities (CAs) that an endpoint supports and should be used by the receiving endpoint to guide certificate selection.
With this JDK release, the "certificate_authorities" extension is supported for TLS 1.3 in both the client and the server sides. This extension is always present for client certificate selection, while it is optional for server certificate selection.
Applications can enable this extension for server certificate selection by setting the jdk.tls.client.enableCAExtension system property to true. The default value of the property is false.
Note that if the client trusts more CAs than the size limit of the extension (less than 2^16 bytes), the extension is not enabled. Also, some server implementations do not allow handshake messages to exceed 2^14 bytes. Consequently, there may be interoperability issues when jdk.tls.client.enableCAExtension is set to true and the client trusts more CAs than the server implementation limit.
Other Notes:
core-libs/java.time:
➜ JDK time-zone data upgraded to tzdata2020d
The JDK update incorporates tzdata2020d. The main change is Palestine ends DST earlier than predicted, on 2020-10-24.
Please refer to https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2020-October/000062.html for more information.
core-libs/java.time:
➜ JDK time-zone data upgraded to tzdata2020c
The JDK update incorporates tzdata2020c. The main change is Fiji starts DST later than usual, on 2020-12-20.
Please refer to https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2020-October/000060.html for more information.
core-libs/java.time:
➜ US/Pacific-New Zone Name Removed as Part of tzdata2020b
Following the JDK's update to tzdata2020b, the long-obsolete files named pacificnew and systemv have been removed. As a result, the "US/Pacific-New" Zone name declared in the pacificnew data file is no longer available for use.
Information regarding this update can be viewed at https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2020-October/000059.html
core-libs/java.util:
➜ Changed Properties.loadFromXML to Comply with Specification
The implementation of the java.util.Properties.loadFromXML method has been changed to comply with its specification. Specifically, the underlying XML parser implementation now rejects non-compliant XML documents by throwing an InvalidPropertiesFormatException as specified by the loadFromXML method.
The effect of the change is as follows:
Documents created by Properties.storeToXML: No change. Properties.loadFromXML will have no problem reading such files.
Documents not created by Properties.storeToXML: Any documents containing DTDs not in the format as specified in Properties.loadFromXML will be rejected. This means the DTD shall be exactly as follows (as generated by the Properties.storeToXML method):

New in Java (JRE) 8 Build 271 (Oct 22, 2020)

New Features:
Weak Named Curves in TLS, CertPath, and Signed JAR Disabled by Default
Weak named curves are disabled by default by adding them to the following disabledAlgorithms security properties: jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms, jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms, and jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms. The named curves are listed below.
With 47 weak named curves to be disabled, adding individual named curves to each disabledAlgorithms property would be overwhelming. To relieve this, a new security property, jdk.disabled.namedCurves, is implemented that can list the named curves common to all of the disabledAlgorithms properties. To use the new property in the disabledAlgorithms properties, precede the full property name with the keyword include. Users can still add individual named curves to disabledAlgorithms properties separate from this new property. No other properties can be included in the disabledAlgorithms properties.
To restore the named curves, remove the include jdk.disabled.namedCurves either from specific or from all disabledAlgorithms security properties. To restore one or more curves, remove the specific named curve(s) from the jdk.disabled.namedCurves property.
Curves that are disabled through jdk.disabled.namedCurves include the following: secp112r1, secp112r2, secp128r1, secp128r2, secp160k1, secp160r1, secp160r2, secp192k1, secp192r1, secp224k1, secp224r1, secp256k1, sect113r1, sect113r2, sect131r1, sect131r2, sect163k1, sect163r1, sect163r2, sect193r1, sect193r2, sect233k1, sect233r1, sect239k1, sect283k1, sect283r1, sect409k1, sect409r1, sect571k1, sect571r1, X9.62 c2tnb191v1, X9.62 c2tnb191v2, X9.62 c2tnb191v3, X9.62 c2tnb239v1, X9.62 c2tnb239v2, X9.62 c2tnb239v3, X9.62 c2tnb359v1, X9.62 c2tnb431r1, X9.62 prime192v2, X9.62 prime192v3, X9.62 prime239v1, X9.62 prime239v2, X9.62 prime239v3, brainpoolP256r1, brainpoolP320r1, brainpoolP384r1, brainpoolP512r1
Curves that remain enabled are: secp256r1, secp384r1, secp521r1, X25519, X448
Support for Kerberos Cross-Realm Referrals (RFC 6806):
The Kerberos client has been enhanced with the support of principal name canonicalization and cross-realm referrals, as defined by the RFC 6806 protocol extension.
As a result of this new feature, the Kerberos client can take advantage of more dynamic environment configurations and does not necessarily need to know (in advance) how to reach the realm of a target principal (user or service).
Support is enabled by default and 5 is the maximum number of referral hops allowed. To turn it off, set the sun.security.krb5.disableReferrals security or system property to false. To configure a custom maximum number of referral hops, set the sun.security.krb5.maxReferrals security or system property to any positive value.
Improve Certificate Chain Handling:
A new system property, jdk.tls.maxHandshakeMessageSize, has been added to set the maximum allowed size for the handshake message in TLS/DTLS handshaking. The default value of the system property is 32768 (32 kilobytes).
A new system property, jdk.tls.maxCertificateChainLength, has been added to set the maximum allowed length of the certificate chain in TLS/DTLS handshaking. The default value of the system property is 10.
Tools Warn If Weak Algorithms Are Used Before Restricting Them:
The keytool and jarsigner tools have been updated to warn users when weak cryptographic algorithms are used in keys, certificates, and signed JARs before they are disabled. The weak algorithms are set in the jdk.security.legacyAlgorithms security property in the java.security configuration file. In this release, the tools issue warnings for the SHA-1 hash algorithm and 1024-bit RSA/DSA keys.
Support for canonicalize in krb5.conf:
The 'canonicalize' flag in the krb5.conf file is now supported by the JDK Kerberos implementation. When set to true, RFC 6806 name canonicalization is requested by clients in TGT requests to KDC services (AS protocol). Otherwise, and by default, it is not requested.
The new default behavior is different from JDK 14 and previous releases where name canonicalization was always requested by clients in TGT requests to KDC services (provided that support for RFC 6806 was not explicitly disabled with the sun.security.krb5.disableReferrals system or security properties).
Java Plugin is Removed from JDK 8u for Linux, Solaris, and MacOS Platforms:
NPAPI is considered to be a vulnerable plugin and has been disabled in many browsers. No browsers currently support Java Plugin, which is NPAPI-based, on Linux, Solaris, and MacOS platforms.
Starting from 8u271, the part of Java Plugin responsible for integration and interaction with a browser (in particular libnpjp2 library) and an associated artifact will not be built and is not part of the JRE distribution on Linux, Solaris, and MacOS platforms.
Added Property to Control LDAP Authentication Mechanisms Allowed to Authenticate Over Clear Connections:
A new environment property, jdk.jndi.ldap.mechsAllowedToSendCredentials, has been added to control which LDAP authentication mechanisms are allowed to send credentials over clear LDAP connections - a connection not secured with TLS. An encrypted LDAP connection is a connection opened by using ldaps scheme, or a connection opened by using ldap scheme and then upgraded to TLS with a STARTTLS extended operation.
The value of the property, which is by default not set, is a comma separated list of the mechanism names that are permitted to authenticate over a clear connection. If a value is not specified for the property, then all mechanisms are allowed. If the specified value is an empty list, then no mechanisms are allowed (except for none and anonymous). The default value for this property is 'null' ( i.e. System.getProperty("jdk.jndi.ldap.mechsAllowedToSendCredentials") returns 'null'). To explicitly permit all mechanisms to authenticate over a clear connection, the property value can be set to "all". If a connection is downgraded from encrypted to clear, then only the mechanisms that are explicitly permitted are allowed.
The property can be supplied to the LDAP context environment map, or set globally as a system property. When both are supplied, the environment map takes precedence.
Note: none and anonymous authentication mechanisms are exempted from these rules and are always allowed regardless of the property value.
Added 3 SSL Corporation Root CA Certificates:
The following root certificates have been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ SSL Corporation:
+ sslrootrsaca:
DN: CN=SSL.com Root Certification Authority RSA, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US
+ sslrootevrsaca:
DN: CN=SSL.com EV Root Certification Authority RSA R2, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US
+ sslrooteccca:
DN: CN=SSL.com Root Certification Authority ECC, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US
Added Entrust Root Certification Authority - G4 certificate:
The following root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:
+ Entrust:
+ entrustrootcag4:
DN: CN=Entrust Root Certification Authority - G4, OU="(c) 2015 Entrust, Inc. - for authorized use only",
OU=See www.entrust.net/legal-terms, O="Entrust, Inc.", C=US
8u RPM Installer Failed to Install on SUSE When Updating Alternatives:
Communication with the alternatives framework of JDK RPM installer starting from 8u261 has changed. JDK RPM installers of prior versions registered two groups of symbolic links with alternatives framework, java and javac. Some names of links in these groups were duplicated, which resulted in installation failures for some versions of alternatives framework. The JDK RPM installer beginning with 8u261 doesn't register the javac group with alternatives framework. All links unique to the javac group have been moved into the java group, but the set of symbolic links registered by the installer have not changed; only the duplicated links have been dropped.
The implication of this change is that if this version of JDK and 8u251 or older versions of the JDK are installed and the previous version is uninstalled, the symbolic links from the java group that are managed by the alternatives framework will be deleted. To restore deleted links, run the command: /usr/sbin/alternatives --auto java
[macos] Invisible (or Hidden) Text in the Installer Window Using Mac's Dark Mode:
Some text in the Installer window is hidden/invisible when using Dark mode on macOS. To workaround this issue, switch to Light mode when running the installer. This issue should be resolved by JDK-8249683.
Enhanced Support of Proxy Class:
The deserialization of java.lang.reflect.Proxy objects can be limited by setting the system property jdk.serialProxyInterfaceLimit. The limit is the maximum number of interfaces allowed per Proxy in the stream. Setting the limit to zero prevents any Proxies from being deserialized including Annotations, a limit of less than 2 might interfere with RMI operations.
Bug Fixes:
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Critical Patch Update. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 8u271 Bug Fixes page.

IANA DATA 2017b:
JDK 8u141 contains IANA time zone data version 2017b.
CERTIFICATE CHANGES:
Let's Encrypt certificates added to root CAs. One new root certificate has been added.
NEW FEATURES:
security-libs/java.security. Improved algorithm constraints checking:
With the need to restrict weak algorithms usage in situations where they are most vulnerable, additional features have been added when configuring the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms and jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms security properties in the java.security file.
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms: The certpath property has seen the most change. Previously it was limited to two Constraint types; either a full disabling of an algorithm by name or a full disabling of an algorithm by the key size when checking certificates, certificate chains, and certificate signatures. This creates configurations that are absolute and lack flexibility in their usage. Three new Constraints were added to give more flexibility in allowing and rejecting certificates.
"jdkCA" examines the certificate chain termination with regard to the cacerts file. In the case of "SHA1 jdkCA". SHA1's usage is checked through the certificate chain, but the chain must terminate at a marked trust anchor in the cacerts keystore to be rejected. This is useful for organizations that have their own private CA that trust using SHA1 with their trust anchor, but want to block certificate chains anchored by a public CA from using SHA1.
"denyAfter" checks if the given date is before the current date or the PKIXParameter date. In the case of "SHA1 denyAfter 2018-01-01", before 2018 a certificate with SHA1 can be used, but after that date, the certificate is rejected. This can be used for a policy across an organization that is phasing out an algorithm with a drop-dead date. For signed JAR files, the date is compared against the TSA timestamp. The date is specified in GMT.
"usage" examines the specified algorithm for a specified usage. This can be used when disabling an algorithm for all usages is not practical. There are three usages that can be specified:
TLSServer' restricts the algorithm in TLS server certificate chains when server authentication is performed as a client.
TLSClient' restricts the algorithm in TLS client certificate chains when client authentication is performed as a server.
SignedJAR' restricts the algorithms in certificates in signed JAR files. The usage type follows the keyword and more than one usage type can be specified with a whitespace delimiter.
For example, "SHA1 usage TLSServer TLSClient" would disallow SHA1 certificates for TLSServer and TLSClient operations, but SignedJars would be allowed
All of these constraints can be combined to constrain an algorithm when delimited by '&'. For example, to disable SHA1 certificate chains that terminate at marked trust anchors only for TLSServer operations, the constraint would be "SHA1 jdkCA & usage TLSServer".
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms: One additional constraint was added to this .jar property to restrict JAR manifest algorithms.
"denyAfter" checks algorithm constraints on manifest digest algorithms inside a signed JAR file. The date given in the constraint is compared against the TSA timestamp on the signed JAR file. If there is no timestamp or the timestamp is on or after the specified date, the signed JAR file is treated as unsigned. If the timestamp is before the specified date, the .jar will operate as a signed JAR file. The syntax for restricting SHA1 in JAR files signed after January 1st 2018 is: "SHA1 denyAfter 2018-01-01". The syntax is the same as that for the certpath property, however certificate checking will not be performed by this property.
CHANGES:
core-svc/java.lang.management. JMX Diagnostic improvements:
com.sun.management.HotSpotDiagnostic::dumpHeap API is modified to throw IllegalArgumentException if the supplied file name does not end with “.hprof” suffix. Existing applications which do not provide a file name ending with the “.hprof” extension will fail with IllegalArgumentException. In that case, applications can either choose to handle the exception or restore old behavior by setting system property 'jdk.management.heapdump.allowAnyFileSuffix' to true.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl. Custom HostnameVerifier enables SNI extension:
Earlier releases of JDK 8 Updates didn't always send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension in the TLS ClientHello phase if a custom hostname verifier was used. This verifier is set via the setHostnameVerifier(HostnameVerifier v) method in HttpsURLConnection. The fix ensures the Server Name is now sent in the ClientHello body.
xml/jax-ws. Tighter secure checks on processing WSDL files by wsimport tool:
The wsimport tool has been changed to disallow DTDs in Web Service descriptions, specifically:
DOCTYPE declaration is disallowed in documents
External general entities are not included by default
External parameter entities are not included by default
External DTDs are completely ignored
To restore the previous behavior:
Set the System property com.sun.xml.internal.ws.disableXmlSecurity to true
Use the wsimport tool command line option –disableXmlSecurity
NOTE: JDK 7 and JDK 6 support for this option in wsimport will be provided via a Patch release post July CPU

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 131 (Apr 18, 2017)

CHANGES:
MD5 added to jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms Security property:
This JDK release introduces a new restriction on how MD5 signed JAR files are verified. If the signed JAR file uses MD5, signature verification operations will ignore the signature and treat the JAR as if it were unsigned.
New system property to control caching for HTTP SPNEGO connection:
A new JDK implementation specific system property to control caching for HTTP SPNEGO (Negotiate/Kerberos) connections is introduced. Caching for HTTP SPNEGO connections remains enabled by default, so if the property is not explicitly specified, there will be no behavior change.
New system property to control caching for HTTP NTLM connection:
A new JDK implementation specific system property to control caching for HTTP NTLM connection is introduced. Caching for HTTP NTLM connection remains enabled by default, so if the property is not explicitly specified, there will be no behavior change.
New version of VisualVM:
VisualVM 1.3.9 was released on October 4th, 2016 http://visualvm.github.io/relnotes.html and has been integrated into 8u131.
BUG FIXES:
Introduced a new window ordering model:
On the OS X platform, the AWT framework used native services to implement parent-child relationship for windows. That caused some negative visual effects especially in multi-monitor environments. To get rid of the disadvantages of such an approach, the new window ordering model, which is fully implemented at the JDK layer, was introduced.
Correction of IllegalArgumentException from TLS handshake:
A recent issue from the JDK-8173783 fix can cause issue for some TLS servers.

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 111 (Oct 19, 2016)

JRE Expiration Date:
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 8u111) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for January 19, 2017.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u111) on February 19, 2017. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), the JRE will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version. For more information, see JRE Expiration Date.
Certificate Changes:
New JCE Code Signing Root CA
In order to support longer key lengths and stronger signature algorithms, a new JCE Provider Code Signing root certificate authority has been created and its certificate added to Oracle JDK. New JCE provider code signing certificates issued from this CA will be used to sign JCE providers from this point forward. By default, new requests for JCE provider code signing certificates will be issued from this CA.
Existing certificates from the current JCE provider code signing root will continue to validate. However, this root CA may be disabled at some point in the future. We recommend that new certificates be requested and existing provider JARs be re-signed.
For details on the JCE provider signing process, please refer to the How to Implement a Provider in the Java Cryptography Architecture documentation.

JDK-8158993 (not public)
core-libs/java.net:
Disable Basic authentication for HTTPS tunneling
In some environments, certain authentication schemes may be undesirable when proxying HTTPS. Accordingly, the Basic authentication scheme has been deactivated, by default, in the Oracle Java Runtime, by adding Basic to the jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes networking property. Now, proxies requiring Basic authentication when setting up a tunnel for HTTPS will no longer succeed by default. If required, this authentication scheme can be reactivated by removing Basic from the jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes networking property, or by setting a system property of the same name to "" ( empty ) on the command line.
Additionally, the jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes and jdk.http.auth.proxying.disabledSchemes networking properties, and system properties of the same name, can be used to disable other authentication schemes that may be active when setting up a tunnel for HTTPS, or proxying plain HTTP, respectively.
JDK-8160838 (not public)
security-libs/java.security:
Restrict JARs signed with weak algorithms and keys
This JDK release introduces new restrictions on how signed JAR files are verified. If the signed JAR file uses a disabled algorithm or key size less than the minimum length, signature verification operations will ignore the signature and treat the JAR file as if it were unsigned. This can potentially occur in the following types of applications that use signed JAR files:
Applets or Web Start Applications
Standalone or Server Applications run with a SecurityManager enabled and that are configured with a policy file that grants permissions based on the code signer(s) of the JAR.
The list of disabled algorithms is controlled via a new security property, jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms, in the java.security file. This property contains a list of disabled algorithms and key sizes for cryptographically signed JAR files.
The following algorithms and key sizes are restricted in this release:
MD2 (in either the digest or signature algorithm)
RSA keys less than 1024 bits
NOTE: We are planning to restrict MD5-based signatures in signed JARs in the January 2017 CPU.
To check if a weak algorithm or key was used to sign a JAR file, you can use the jarsigner binary that ships with this JDK. Running jarsigner -verify -J-Djava.security.debug=jar on a JAR file signed with a weak algorithm or key will print more information about the disabled algorithm or key.
For example, to check a JAR file named test.jar, use the following command:
jarsigner -verify -J-Djava.security.debug=jar test.jar
If the file in this example was signed with a weak signature algorithm like MD2withRSA, the following output would be displayed:
jar: beginEntry META-INF/my_sig.RSA
jar: processEntry: processing block
jar: processEntry caught: java.security.SignatureException: Signature check failed. Disabled algorithm used: MD2withRSA
jar: done with meta!
The updated jarsigner command will exit with the following warning printed to standard output:
"Signature not parsable or verifiable. The jar will be treated as unsigned. The jar may have been signed with a weak algorithm that is now disabled. For more information, rerun jarsigner with debug enabled (-J-Djava.security.debug=jar)"
To address the issue, the JAR file will need to be re-signed with a stronger algorithm or key size.
Alternatively, the restrictions can be reverted by removing the applicable weak algorithms or key sizes from the jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms security property; however, this option is not recommended. Before re-signing affected JAR files, the existing signature(s) should be removed from the JAR. This can be done with the zip utility, as follows:
zip -d test.jar 'META-INF/*.SF' 'META-INF/*.RSA' 'META-INF/*.DSA'
Please periodically check the Oracle JRE and JDK Cryptographic Roadmap at http://java.com/cryptoroadmap for planned restrictions to signed JAR files and other security components. In particular, please note the current plan is to restrict MD5-based signatures in signed JAR files in the January 2017 CPU.
To test if your JARs have been signed with MD5, add MD5 to the jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms security property, ex:
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize < 1024
and then run jarsigner -verify -J-Djava.security.debug=jar on your JAR files as described above.

deploy:
Warning message added to deployment authenticator dialog
A warning has been added to the plugin authentication dialog in cases where HTTP Basic authentication (credentials are sent unencrypted) is used while using a proxy or while not using SSL/TLS protocols:
"WARNING: Basic authentication scheme will effectively transmit your credentials in clear text. Do you really want to do this?"

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 92 (Apr 19, 2016)

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 91 (Apr 19, 2016)

The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release:
DSA signature generation is now subject to a key strength check:
For signature generation, if the security strength of the digest algorithm is weaker than the security strength of the key used to sign the signature (e.g. using (2048, 256)-bit DSA keys with SHA1withDSA signature), the operation will fail with the error message:
"The security strength of SHA1 digest algorithm is not sufficient for this key size."
JDK-8138593 (not public)
Firefox 42 liveconnect problem:
Because it might cause the browser to hang, we don't process JavaScript-to-Java calls when the Java plugin is launched from plugin-container.exe (the default behavior for Firefox 42) and the applet status is not Ready(2). If the applet is not ready (the status is not 2), we don't execute the actual Java method and only return null.
If the plugin is launched from plugin-container.exe, do not use JavaScript-To-Java calls that may require more than 11 seconds(the default value of dom.ipc.plugins.hangUITimeoutSecs) to be completed or show a modal dialog during JavaScript-To-Java call. In this case, the main browser thread must be blocked, which might cause the browser to hang and the plugin to terminate.
Workaround (for Firefox 42):
User’s can set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled=false. The side effect of this workaround is that it changes the setting for all plugins.
JDK-8144079 (not public)
New attribute for JMX RMI JRMP servers specifies a list of class names to use when deserializing server credentials:
A new java attribute has been defined for the environment to allow a JMX RMI JRMP server to specify a list of class names. These names correspond to the closure of class names that are expected by the server when deserializing credentials. For instance, if the expected credentials were a List, then the closure would constitute all the concrete classes that should be expected in the serial form of a list of Strings.
By default, this attribute is used only by the default agent with the following:
"[Ljava.lang.String;",
"java.lang.String"
Only arrays of Strings and Strings will be accepted when deserializing the credentials.
The attribute name is:
"jmx.remote.rmi.server.credential.types"
The following is an example of a user starting a server with the specified credentials class names:
Map env = new HashMap(1);
env.put (
"jmx.remote.rmi.server.credential.types",
new String[]{
String[].class.getName(),
String.class.getName()
JMXConnectorServer server
= JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer(url, env, mbeanServer);
The new feature should be used by directly specifying:
"jmx.remote.rmi.server.credential.types"
JDK-8144430 (not public)
Disable MD5withRSA signature algorithm in the JSSE provider:
The MD5withRSA signature algorithm is now considered insecure and should no longer be used. Accordingly, MD5withRSA has been deactivated by default in the Oracle JSSE implementation by adding "MD5withRSA" to the "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms" security property. Now, both TLS handshake messages and X.509 certificates signed with MD5withRSA algorithm are no longer acceptable by default. This change extends the previous MD5-based certificate restriction ("jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms") to also include handshake messages in TLS version 1.2. If required, this algorithm can be reactivated by removing "MD5withRSA" from the "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms" security property.
JDK-8144773 (not public)

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 66 (Oct 21, 2015)

IANA Data 2015f:
JDK 8u66 contains IANA time zone data version 2015f. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
JRE Expiration Date:
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 8u66) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for January 19, 2016.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u66) on February 20, 2016. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), the JRE will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version. For more information, see JRE Expiration Date.
Notes:
When running on OSX 10.11 "El Capitan", when SIP is enabled, certain environment variables intended for debugging applications, such as DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, may be stripped from the environment when running Java from the command line or when double-clicking a JAR file. Applications should not rely on these variables in a production environment, they are only intended for debugging during development.
Bug Fixes:
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information, see Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a list of bug fixes included in this release, see JDK 8u66 Bug Fixes page.
The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release:
Preloading libjsig.dylib causes deadlock when signal() is called - Applications need to preload the libjsig library to enable signal chaining. Previously, on OS X, after libjsig.dylib was preloaded, any call from native code to signal() caused a deadlock. This has been corrected.
VM crash when class is redefined with Instrumentation.redefineClasses - The JVM could crash when a class was redefined with Instrumentation.redefineClasses(). The crash could either be a segmentation fault at SystemDictionary::resolve_or_null, or an internal error with the message "tag mismatch with resolution error table". This has now been fixed.

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 25 (Oct 15, 2014)

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 20 (Aug 20, 2014)

New Features and Changes:
New flags added to Java Management API - The flags MinHeapFreeRatio and MaxHeapFreeRatio have been made manageable. This means they can be changed at runtime using the management API in Java. Support for these flags have also been added to the ParallelGC as part of the adaptive size policy.
Java Installer Changes - A new Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) Enterprise JRE Installer which enables user to install the JRE across the enterprise, is available. See Downloading the Installer section in JRE Installation for Microsoft Windows for more information. The MSI Enterprise JRE Installer is only available as part of Java SE Advanced or Java SE Suite. For information about these commercial products, see Java SE Advanced and Java SE Suite.
The following new configuration parameters are added to support commercial features, for use by Java SE Advanced or Java SE Suite licensees only.
USAGETRACKERCFG=
DEPLOYMENT_RULE_SET=
See Installing With a Configuration File for more information about these and other installer parameters.
The Java Uninstall Tool is integrated with the installer to provide an option to remove older versions of Java from the system. The change is applicable to 32 bit and 64 bit Windows platforms. See Uninstalling the JRE.
Java Control Panel Changes - The Update tab in the Java Control Panel now enables the users to automatically update 64-bit JREs (in addition to 32-bit versions) that are installed on their system.
The Medium security level has been removed. Now only High and Very High levels are available.
Applets that do not conform with the latest security practices can still be authorized to run by including the sites that host them to the Exception Site List.
The exception site list provides users with the option of allowing the same applets that would have been allowed by selecting the Medium option but on a site-by-site basis therefore minimizing the risk of the using more permissive settings.
Java Compiler updated - The javac compiler has been updated to implement definite assignment analysis for blank final field access using "this". See JDK 8 Compatibility Guide for more details.
Change in minimum required Java Version for Java Plugin and Java Webstart
The minimum version of Java required for Java Plugin and Java Webstart is now Java 5. Applets that do not run in Java 5 or later must be ported to a later version of Java to continue to function. Applets written for earlier versions but able to run in at least Java 5 will continue to work.
Change in UsageTracker output formatting - UsageTracker output formatting has been changed to use quoting, to avoid confusion in the log. This may require changes to the way such information is read. The feature can be configured to behave as in previous versions, although the new format is recommended.
See Java Usage Tracker documentation.
Changes to Java Packaging Tools:
javafxpackager has been renamed to javapackager
The "-B" option has been added to the javapackager deploy command to enable you to pass arguments to the bundlers that are used to create self-contained applications. See javapackager (Windows)/(Unix) documentation for information
The helper parameter argument has been added to JavaFX Ant Task Reference. It enables you to specify an argument (in the element) for the bundler that is used to create self-contained applications.

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 11 (Jul 16, 2014)

NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES:
Java Dependency Analysis Tool (jdeps):
A new command-line tool, Java Dependency Analysis Tool (jdeps), is now available that can be used by developers to understand the static dependencies of their applications and libraries. It also provides an -jdkinternals option to find dependencies of any JDK internal APIs that are unsupported and private to JDK implementation.
New JAR file attribute - Entry-Point:
From this release, a new JAR file attribute, Entry-Point is available. The Entry-Point attribute is used to identify the classes that are allowed to be used as 'entry points' to the RIA. Identifying the entry points helps to prevent unauthorized code from being run when a JAR file has more than one class with a main() method, multiple Applet classes, or multiple JavaFX Application classes. Set this attribute to the fully qualified class name that can be used as the entry point for the RIA. To specify more than one class, separate the classes by a space, for example: Entry-Point: apps.test.TestUI apps.test.TestCLI
If the JAR manifest is signed and the main-class or applet-class entry point specified in the JNLP file or application descriptor differs from the class specified for the Entry-Point attribute, then the RIA is blocked. If the Entry-Point attribute is not present, any class with a main() method, or any Applet or JavaFX Application class in the JAR file can be used to start the RIA.
New JAXP processing limit property - maxElementDepth:
A new property, maxElementDepth, is added to provide applications the ability to set limit on maximum element depth in an xml file that they parse. This may be helpful for applications that may use too much resources when processing an xml file with excessive element depth.
BUG FIXES:
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information, see Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujul2014-1972956.html).

New in Java (JRE) 9 Build 19 Early Access (Jun 26, 2014)

New in Java (JRE) 8 Update 5 (Apr 16, 2014)

Security Baselines:
The security baselines for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) at the time of the release of JDK 8u5 are specified in the following table
JRE 8: 1.8.0_5
JRE 7: 1.7.0_55
JRE 6: 1.6.0_75
JRE 5.0: 1.5.0_65
JRE Expiration Date:
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 8u5) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for July 15, 2014.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u5) on August 15, 2014. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), the JRE will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version. For more information, see JRE Expiration Date.
New Features and Changes:
The frequency of some security dialogs has been reduced on systems that run the same RIA multiple times.
Using "*" in Caller-Allowable-Codebase Attribute
If a stand-alone asterisk (*) is specified as the value for the Caller-Allowable-Codebase attribute, then calls from JavaScript code to RIA will show a security warning, and users have the choice to allow the call or block the call
Bug Fixes:
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. The following are some of the notable bug fixes in this release:
Area: deploy/plugin
Synopsis: java plugin compatibility with windows 8.1 / IE 11 enhanced protected mode
Starting in this release Java Plug-in is compatible with Windows Enhanced Protected Mode (EPM) on Windows 8.1 and IE 11. You should no longer see any warning related to EPM when trying to run an applet in Internet Explorer (IE). There is a special case for 64-bit Windows - EPM requires both 32-bit and 64-bit Plug-in installed. Please make sure you have both 32-bit and 64-bit JRE installed, otherwise there will be a warning from IE, but Java Plug-in will still run under EPM.

New in Java (JRE) 8 (Mar 19, 2014)

Java Programming Language:
Lambda Expressions, a new language feature, has been introduced in this release. They enable you to treat functionality as a method argument, or code as data. Lambda expressions let you express instances of single-method interfaces (referred to as functional interfaces) more compactly.
Method references provide easy-to-read lambda expressions for methods that already have a name.
Default methods enable new functionality to be added to the interfaces of libraries and ensure binary compatibility with code written for older versions of those interfaces.
Repeating Annotations provide the ability to apply the same annotation type more than once to the same declaration or type use.
Type Annotations provide the ability to apply an annotation anywhere a type is used, not just on a declaration. Used with a pluggable type system, this feature enables improved type checking of your code.
Improved type inference.
Method parameter reflection.
Collections:
Classes in the new java.util.stream package provide a Stream API to support functional-style operations on streams of elements. The Stream API is integrated into the Collections API, which enables bulk operations on collections, such as sequential or parallel map-reduce transformations.
Performance Improvement for HashMaps with Key Collisions
Compact Profiles contain predefined subsets of the Java SE platform and enable applications that do not require the entire Platform to be deployed and run on small devices.
Security:
Client-side TLS 1.2 enabled by default
New variant of AccessController.doPrivileged that enables code to assert a subset of its privileges, without preventing the full traversal of the stack to check for other permissions
Stronger algorithms for password-based encryption
SSL/TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) Extension support in JSSE Server
Support for AEAD algorithms: The SunJCE provider is enhanced to support AES/GCM/NoPadding cipher implementation as well as GCM algorithm parameters. And the SunJSSE provider is enhanced to support AEAD mode based cipher suites. See Oracle Providers Documentation, JEP 115.

The javac tool now has support for checking the content of javadoc comments for issues that could lead to various problems, such as invalid HTML or accessibility issues, in the files that are generated when javadoc is run. The feature is enabled by the new -Xdoclint option. For more details, see the output from running "javac -X". This feature is also available in the javadoc tool, and is enabled there by default.
The javac tool now provides the ability to generate native headers, as needed. This removes the need to run the javah tool as a separate step in the build pipeline. The feature is enabled in javac by using the new -h option, which is used to specify a directory in which the header files should be written. Header files will be generated for any class which has either native methods, or constant fields annotated with a new annotation of type java.lang.annotation.Native.
Javadoc tool:
The javadoc tool supports the new DocTree API that enables you to traverse Javadoc comments as abstract syntax trees.
The javadoc tool supports the new Javadoc Access API that enables you to invoke the Javadoc tool directly from a Java application, without executing a new process. See the javadoc what's new page for more information.
The javadoc tool now has support for checking the content of javadoc comments for issues that could lead to various problems, such as invalid HTML or accessibility issues, in the files that are generated when javadoc is run.

New in Java (JRE) 7 Update 51 (Jan 15, 2014)

JavaFX Release Notes:
JavaFX is now part of JDK. JDK 7u51 release includes JavaFX version 2.2.51.
New Features and Changes:
Jarsigner updated to encourage timestamping
Timestamping for a signed jar is now strongly recommended. The Jarsigner tool will print out an informational warning at signing or verifying when timestamp is missing.
Changes to Security Slider:
The following changes to Security Slider were included in this release(7u51)
Block Self-Signed and Unsigned applets on High Security Setting
Require Permissions Attribute for High Security Setting
Warn users of missing Permissions Attributes for Medium Security Setting
Change in Default Socket Permissions:
The default socket permissions assigned to all code including untrusted code have been changed in this release. Previously, all code was able to bind any socket type to any port number greater than or equal to 1024. It is still possible to bind sockets to the ephemeral port range on each system. The exact range of ephemeral ports varies from one operating system to another, but it is typically in the high range (such as from 49152 to 65535). The new restriction is that binding sockets outside of the ephemeral range now requires an explicit permission in the system security policy.
Most applications using client tcp sockets and a security manager will not see any problem, as these typically bind to ephemeral ports anyway. Applications using datagram sockets or server tcp sockets (and a security manager) may encounter security exceptions where none were seen before. If this occurs, users should review whether the port number being requested is expected, and if this is the case, a socket permission grant can be added to the local security policy, to resolve the issue.
Change in JAXP Xalan Extension Functions:
In JDK 7u51, a change has been made in JAXP Xalan Extension functions to always use the default DOM implementation when Security Manager is present. This change affects the NodeSet created by DOM Document.
Before this change, the DOM implementation is located through the DOM factory lookup process. With this change, when security is enabled, the lookup process is skipped and the default DOM implementation is used.
This change will only affect those applications that use a 3rd party DOM implementation. In general, the NodeSet structure is expected to be compatible with that of the JDK default implementation.
Bug fixes:
Thread contention in the method Beans.IsDesignTime()
(tz) Support tzdata2013h
Memory leak when GCNotifier uses create_from_platform_dependent_str()

New in Java (JRE) 7 Update 45 (Oct 16, 2013)

New Features and Changes:
Protections Against Unauthorized Redistribution of Java Applications
Starting with 7u45, application developers can specify new JAR manifest file attributes:
Application-Name: This attribute provides a secure title for your RIA.
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: This attribute specifies the codebase/locations from which JavaScript is allowed to call Applet classes.
JavaScript to Java calls will be allowed without any security dialog prompt only if:
JAR is signed by a trusted CA, has the Caller-Allowable-Codebase manifest entry and JavaScript runs on the domain that matches it.
JAR is unsigned and JavaScript calls happens from the same domain as the JAR location.
The JavaScript to Java (LiveConnect) security dialog prompt is shown once per Applet classLoader instance.
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: If the JNLP file or HTML page is in a different location than the JAR file, the Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase attribute identifies the locations from which your RIA can be expected to be started.
If the attribute is not present or if the attribute and location do not match, then the location of the JNLP file or HTML page is displayed in the security prompt shown to the user.
Note that the RIA can still be started in any of the above cases.
Developers can refer to JAR File Manifest Attributes for more information.
Restore Security Prompts:
A new button is available in the Java Control Panel (JCP) to clear previously remembered trust decisions. A trust decision occurs when the user has selected the Do not show this again option in a security prompt. To show prompts that were previously hidden, click Restore Security Prompts. When asked to confirm the selection, click Restore All. The next time an application is started, the security prompt for that application is shown.
See Restore Security Prompts under the Security section of the Java Control Panel.
JAXP Changes:
Starting from JDK 7u45, the following new processing limits are added to the JAXP FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING feature.
totalEntitySizeLimit
maxGeneralEntitySizeLimit
maxParameterEntitySizeLimit
For more information, see the new Processing Limits lesson in the JAXP Tutorial.
TimeZone.setDefault Change:
The java.util.TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone) method has been changed to throw a SecurityException if the method is called by any code with which the security manager's checkPermission call denies PropertyPermission("user.timezone", "write"). The new system property jdk.util.TimeZone.allowSetDefault (a boolean) is provided so that the compatible behavior can be enabled. The property will be evaluated only once when the java.util.TimeZone class is loaded and initialized.
Bug Fixes:
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities.

New in Java (JRE) 8 Build 101 Dev (Aug 6, 2013)

New in Java (JRE) 7 Update 25 (Jun 19, 2013)

ENHANCEMENTS AND CHANGES:
Certificate Revocation:
Before signed Java applets and Java Web Start applications are run, the signing certificate is checked to ensure that it has not been revoked. Advanced options in the Java Control Panel(JCP) can be set to manage the checking process. For more information on these options, see the Advanced section of the Java Control Panel documentation.
Under normal circumstances revocation checking will have a slight impact on startup performance for applets and web start applications. Enterprises with managed networks and without access to the Internet (resulting in no access to the revocation services provided by Certificate Authorities) will see a significant delay in startup times.
To avoid such delay, they may choose to disable on line revocation checking through the JCP. Note that disabling on line revocation checking should only be considered in managed environments as it decreases security protections.
New JAR Manifest File Attributes:
JDK 7u25 release introduces the permissions and codebase attributes in the JAR Manifest File. These attributes are used to verify that the application is requesting the correct permissions level and is accessed from the correct location.
Developers are advised to utilize at least the new permissions attribute, and if possible the codebase attribute as well. In future releases, applications that do not include these protections may be blocked or subjected to additional warning dialogs.
Best Practices for Applet & Web Start Deployment:
As a result of various security changes and improvements, the following best practices are recommended for Applet and Web Start deployment:
Sign all JAR files using a Public Key Code Signing Certificate.
In the application jar manifest file include the permissions keyword with the desired permissions level, and if possible the codebase attribute as well.
LiveConnect Blocked under Some Conditions:
LiveConnect calls from JavaScript to Java API are blocked when the Java Control Panel security slider is set to Very High level, or when the slider is at the default High level and the JRE has either expired or is below the security baseline.
New property for Secure Validation of XML:
To avoid potential security issues with XML signatures, a secure validation mode has been added whereby signatures that contain potentially hostile constructs are rejected and not processed.
For this purpose, the following new private property is added to the JDK: org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation
The property can be set by an application by calling the setProperty method of the javax.xml.crypto.dsig.dom.DOMValidateContext class with the name of the property above and a Boolean value.
When set to true, this property instructs the implementation to process XML signatures more securely. This will set limits on various XML signature constructs to avoid conditions such as denial of service attacks.
When not set, or set to false, the property instructs the implementation to process XML signatures according to the XML Signature specification without any special limits.
If a SecurityManager is enabled, the property is set to true by default.
Java API Documentation Updater Tool:
To address CVE-2013-1571, users hosting publicly facing Java API Documentation generated with javadoc 5u45, 6u45, 7u21 or earlier are strongly encouraged to re-create the Java API documentation using javadoc from 7u25 or above.
Alternatively, for convenience of users and for those who have further modified the generated documentation, Oracle provides the Java API Documentation Updater, a repair-in-place tool.
Source code is available with the download if you have a non-standard environment. The Java API Documentation Updater Tool is a separate download and not included in any JDK/JRE bundles. Please also see important information related to the javadoc tool in the Known Issues section.
Help for Security Dialogs:
A More Information link is added to the various security dialogs that may pop up prior to launching an applet or Java Web Start as a means for the user to get more information about the dialog.
Changes to Runtime.exec:
On the Windows platform, the decoding of command strings specified to java.lang.ProcessBuilder and the exec methods defined by java.lang.Runtime, has been made stricter since JDK 7u21. This may cause problems for applications that are using one or more of these methods with commands that contain spaces in the program name, or are invoking these methods with commands that are not quoted correctly. For more information see JDK 7u21 Release Notes.
In JDK 7u25, the system property jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands can be used to relax the checking process and may be used as a workaround for some applications that are impacted by the stricter validation. The workaround is only effective for applications that are run without a security manager. To use this workaround, either the command line should be updated to include -Djdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands=true or the java application should set the system property jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands to true.
Quoting and escaping commands on Windows platform is complicated. The following examples may be useful to developers if they are impacted by the stricter validation.
BUG FIXES:
Area: deploy/plugin
Synopsis: In-consistent behavior with remote/local policy file with ALL permission.
Both signed and unsigned applets with local or remote policy files with ALL permissions were not behaving as expected.
The behavior was due to honoring JCP security levels.
Area: security-libs/java.security
Synopsis: Improve on checking order
The implementation of java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction, AccessControlContext) and AccessController.doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction, AccessControlContext) have been modified to improve security.
Area: core-libs/java.util.logging
Synopsis: Remove the stack search for a resource bundle for Logger to use
The java.util.logging.Logger class no longer does stack walk search for a logger's resource bundle. The stack walk search was intended as a temporary measure to allow containers to transition to using the context class loader and was specified to be removed in a future release. It will use the thread context class loader (if not set, use the system class loader) to look up the resource bundle and, if not found, it will fall back to use the class loader of the caller class that creates the Logger instance (via the Logger.getLogger() and Logger.getAnonymousLogger() method with a given resource bundle name).

New in Java (JRE) 7 Update 21 (Apr 17, 2013)

Blacklisted Jars and Certificates:
Oracle now manages a certificate and jar blacklist repository. This data is updated on client computers daily on the first execution of a Java applet or web start application.
Changes to Java Control Panel's Security Settings:
In this release, low and custom settings are removed from the Java Control Panel(JCP)'s Security Slider. Depending on the security level set in the Java Control Panel and the user's version of the JRE, self-signed or unsigned applications might not be allowed to run. The default setting of High permits all but local applets to run on a secure JRE. If the user is running an insecure JRE, only applications that are signed with a certificate issued by a recognized certificate authority are allowed to run.
Changes to Security Dialogs:
As of JDK 7u21, JavaScript code that calls code within a privileged applet is treated as mixed code and warning dialogs are raised if the signed JAR files are not tagged with the Trusted-Library attribute.
The JDK 7u21 release enables users to make more informed decisions before running Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) by prompting users for permissions before an RIA is run. These permission dialogs include information on the certificate used to sign the application, the location of the application, and the level of access that the application requests. For more information, see User Acceptance of RIAs.
Changes to RMI:
From this release, the RMI property java.rmi.server.useCodebaseOnly is set to true by default. In previous releases the default value was false. This change of default value may cause RMI-based applications to break unexpectedly. The typical symptom is a stack trace that contains a java.rmi.UnmarshalException containing a nested java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
Server JRE:
A new Server JRE package, with tools commonly required for server deployments but without the Java plug-in, auto-update or installer found in the regular JRE package, is available starting from this release. The Server JRE is specifically targeted for deploying Java in server environments and is available for 64-bit Solaris, Windows and Linux platforms. Some of the tools included in the initial release of the Server JRE package, may not be available in future versions of the Server JRE. Please check future release notes for tools availability if you use this package.
Changes to Runtime.exec:
On Windows platform, the decoding of command strings specified to Runtime.exec(String), Runtime.exec(String,String[]) and Runtime.exec(String,String[],File) methods, has been improved to follow the specification more closely. This may cause problems for applications that are using one or more of these methods with commands that contain spaces in the program name, or are invoking these methods with commands that are not quoted correctly.
