Keeping the JDK up to Date

Oracle recommends that the JDK is updated with each Critical Patch Update. In order to determine if a release is the latest, the Security Baseline page can be used to determine which is the latest version for each release family.

Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Bulletins. It is not recommended that this JDK (version 17.0.4.1) be used after the next critical patch update scheduled for October 18, 2022.

Oracle recommends that all JDK 17 users, even those that have already updated to 17.0.4, uptake the 17.0.4.1 patch release.
