The following root certificate have been added to the OpenJDK cacerts truststore:

• TeliaSonera

  • teliasonerarootcav1

    DN: CN=TeliaSonera Root CA v1, O=TeliaSonera

Endpoint identification has been enabled on LDAPS connections.

To improve robustness of LDAPS (secure LDAP over TLS) connections, endpoint identification algorithms have been enabled by default.

Note that there may be situations where some applications that were previously able to successfully connect to an LDAPS server may no longer be able to do so. Such applications may, if they deem appropriate, disable endpoint identification using a new system property: com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.disableEndpointIdentification.

Define this system property (or set it to true) to disable endpoint identification algorithms.

The file system location in Windows for the usagetracker.properties file has been moved from %ProgramData%\Oracle\Java\ to %ProgramFiles%\Java\conf

There is no change in the file path for Linux, Solaris, or macOS.

Prior to JDK 8u261, the JSSE framework passed an array of Strings of all keytypes in one call to the (delegate) javax.net.ssl.X509KeyManager.chooseClientAlias(String[] keyType, Principal[] issuers, Socket socket) implementation when client authentication is present in an application. Since JDK 8u261, the internal JDK libraries may call the delegate javax.net.ssl.X509KeyManager.chooseClientAlias method in multiple iterations while performing client authentication. One key type per call. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/X509KeyManager.html#chooseClientAlias-java.lang.String:A-java.security.Principal:A-java.net.Socket-

If application code implements javax.net.ssl.X509KeyManager, ensure that the code logic in that implementation does not assume that all keytypes are passed in the keyType String array in the first call to chooseClientAlias: String chooseClientAlias​(String[] keyType, Principal[] issuers, Socket socket)

DES-based TLS cipher suites are considered obsolete and should no longer be used. DES-based cipher suites have been deactivated by default in the SunJSSE implementation by adding the "DES" identifier to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property. These cipher suites can be reactivated by removing "DES" from the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property in the java.security file or by dynamically calling the Security.setProperty() method. In both cases re-enabling DES must be followed by adding DES-based cipher suites to the enabled cipher suite list using the SSLSocket.setEnabledCipherSuites() or SSLEngine.setEnabledCipherSuites() methods.

Note that prior to this change, DES40_CBC (but not all DES) suites were disabled via the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property.

The specification of javax.crypto.CipherInputStream has been clarified to indicate that this class may catch BadPaddingException and other exceptions thrown by failed integrity checks during decryption. These exceptions are not re-thrown, so the client may not be informed that integrity checks failed. Because of this behavior, this class may not be suitable for use with decryption in an authenticated mode of operation (e.g. GCM). Applications that require authenticated encryption can use the Cipher API directly as an alternative to using this class.
