What's new in jdkPortable 8 Update 152

Oct 31, 2017
  • New features:
  • security-libs/javax.crypto
  • New Security property to control crypto policy:
  • This release introduces a new feature whereby the JCE jurisdiction policy files used by the JDK can be controlled via a new Security property. In older releases, JCE jurisdiction files had to be downloaded and installed separately to allow unlimited cryptography to be used by the JDK. The download and install steps are no longer necessary. To enable unlimited cryptography, one can use the new crypto.policy Security property. If the new Security property (crypto.policy) is set in the java.security file, or has been set dynamically using the Security.setProperty() call before the JCE framework has been initialized, that setting will be honored. By default, the property will be undefined. If the property is undefined and the legacy JCE jurisdiction files don't exist in the legacy lib/security directory, then the default cryptographic level will remain at 'limited'. To configure the JDK to use unlimited cryptography, set the crypto.policy to a value of 'unlimited'. See the notes in the java.security file shipping with this release for more information.
  • Note : On Solaris, it's recommended that you remove the old SVR4 packages before installing the new JDK updates. If an SVR4 based upgrade (without uninstalling the old packages) is being done on a JDK release earlier than 6u131, 7u121, or 8u111, then you should set the new crypto.policy Security property in the java.security file.
  • Because the old JCE jurisdiction files are left in <java-home>/lib/security, they may not meet the latest security JAR signing standards, which were refreshed in 6u131, 7u121, 8u111, and later updates. An exception similar to the following might be seen if the old files are used:
  • Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Jurisdiction policy files are not signed by trusted signers!
  • at javax.crypto.JceSecurity.loadPolicies(JceSecurity.java:593)
  • at javax.crypto.JceSecurity.setupJurisdictionPolicies(JceSecurity.java:524)
  • Changes:
  • hotspot/compiler
  • BigInteger performance improvements turned on by default:
  • The performance improvements described in JDK-8130150 and JDK-8081778 have now been turned on by default.
  • They can be turned off by using the following command options:
  • -XX:-UseMontgomerySquareIntrinsic
  • -XX:-UseMontgomeryMultiplyIntrinsic
  • -XX:-UseSquareToLenIntrinsic
  • -XX:-UseMultiplyToLenIntrinsic

  • IANA Data 2017b:
  • JDK 8u144 contains IANA time zone data version 2017b. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
  • Security Baselines:
  • The security baselines for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) at the time of the release of JDK 8u144 are specified in the following table:
  • JRE Family Version JRE Security Baseline (Full Version String)
  • 8 1.8.0_141-b15
  • 7 1.7.0_151-b15
  • 6 1.6.0_161-b13
  • 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 8u144) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for October 17, 2017.
  • For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u144) on November 17, 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.
  • Bug Fixes
  • security-libs/javax.net.ssl
  • java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() now always returns the ZipEntry instance with a / ended entry name for directory entry
  • The java.util.zip.ZipEntry API doc specifies "A directory entry is defined to be one whose name ends with a /". However, in previous JDK releases, java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry(String entryName) may return a ZipEntry instance with an entry name that does not end with / for an existing zip directory entry when the passed in argument entryName does not end with a /, and when there is a matching zip directory entry with name entryName + / in the zip file.
  • With this release, the name of the ZipEntry instance returned from java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() always ends with / for any zip directory entry.
  • To revert to the previous behavior, set the system property jdk.util.zip.ensureTrailingSlash to "false".
  • This change was made in order to fix a regression introduced in JDK 8u141 when verifying signed JARs that has caused some WebStart applications to fail to load.
  • This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 8u144 Bug Fixes page.

New in jdkPortable 8 Update 131 (Jul 12, 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. This can potentially occur in the following types of applications that use signed JAR files:
  • Applets or Web Start Applications
  • Standalone or Server Applications that are run with a SecurityManager enabled and are configured with a policy file that grants permissions based on the code signer(s) of the JAR file.
  • The list of disabled algorithms is controlled via the 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.
  • To check if a weak algorithm or key was used to sign a JAR file, one can use the jarsigner binary that ships with this JDK. Running "jarsigner -verify" on a JAR file signed with a weak algorithm or key will print more information about the disabled algorithm or key.
  • 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.
  • When connecting to an HTTP server that uses SPNEGO to negotiate authentication, and when connection and authentication with the server is successful, the authentication information will then be cached and reused for further connections to the same server. In addition, connecting to an HTTP server using SPNEGO usually involves keeping the underlying connection alive and reusing it for further requests to the same server. In some applications, it may be desirable to disable all caching for the HTTP SPNEGO (Negotiate/Kerberos) protocol in order to force requesting new authentication with each new request to the server.
  • With this change, we now provide a new system property that allows control of the caching policy for HTTP SPNEGO connections. If jdk.spnego.cache is defined and evaluates to false, then all caching will be disabled for HTTP SPNEGO connections. Setting this system property to false may, however, result in undesirable side effects:
  • Performance of HTTP SPNEGO connections may be severely impacted as the connection will need to be re-authenticated with each new request, requiring several communication exchanges with the server.
  • Credentials will need to be obtained again for each new request, which, depending on whether transparent authentication is available or not, and depending on the global Authenticator implementation, may result in a popup asking the user for credentials for every new request.
  • 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.
  • On some platforms, the HTTP NTLM implementation in the JDK can support transparent authentication, where the system user credentials are used at system level. When transparent authentication is not available or unsuccessful, the JDK only supports getting credentials from a global authenticator. If connection to the server is successful, the authentication information will then be cached and reused for further connections to the same server. In addition, connecting to an HTTP NTLM server usually involves keeping the underlying connection alive and reusing it for further requests to the same server. In some applications, it may be desirable to disable all caching for the HTTP NTLM protocol in order to force requesting new authentication with each new requests to the server.
  • With this change, we now provide a new system property that allows control of the caching policy for HTTP NTLM connections. If jdk.ntlm.cache is defined and evaluates to false, then all caching will be disabled for HTTP NTLM connections. Setting this system property to false may, however, result in undesirable side effects:
  • Performance of HTTP NTLM connections may be severely impacted as the connection will need to be re-authenticated with each new request, requiring several communication exchanges with the server.
  • Credentials will need to be obtained again for each new request, which, depending on whether transparent authentication is available or not, and depending on the global Authenticator implementation, may result in a popup asking the user for credentials for every new request.
  • New version of VisualVM:
  • VisualVM 1.3.9 was released on October 4th, 2016 and has been integrated into 8u131.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Correction of IllegalArgumentException from TLS handshake:
  • A recent issue from the JDK-8173783 fix can cause issue for some TLS servers. The problem originates from an IllegalArgumentException thrown by the TLS handshaker code: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: System property jdk.tls.namedGroups(null) contains no supported elliptic curves. The issue can arise when the server doesn't have elliptic curve cryptography support to handle an elliptic curve name extension field (if present). Users are advised to upgrade to this release. By default, JDK 7 Updates and later JDK families ship with the SunEC security provider which provides elliptic curve cryptography support. Those releases should not be impacted unless security providers are modified.
