Java™ SE Development Kit 8, Update 192 (JDK 8u192)
October 16, 2018
The full version string for this update release is 1.8.0_192-b12 (where "b" means "build"). The version number is 8u192.
IANA Data 2018e
JDK 8u192 contains IANA time zone data version 2018e. 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 8u192 are specified in the following table:
| JRE Family Version | JRE Security Baseline (Full Version String) |
|---|---|
| 8 | 1.8.0_191-b12 |
| 7 | 1.7.0_201-b11 |
| 6 | 1.6.0_211-b11 |
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 8u192) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for January 15, 2019.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u192) on February 15, 2019. 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
Support for Customization of Default Enabled Cipher Suites via System Properties
The system property jdk.tls.client.cipherSuites can be used to customize the default enabled cipher suites for the client side of SSL/TLS connections. In a similar way, the system property jdk.tls.server.cipherSuites can be used for customization on the server side.
The system properties contain a comma-separated list of supported cipher suite names that specify the default enabled cipher suites. All other supported cipher suites are disabled for this default setting. Unrecognized or unsupported cipher suite names specified in properties are ignored. Explicit setting of enabled cipher suites will override the system properties.
Please refer to the "Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation" for the standard JSSE cipher suite names, and the "Java Cryptography Architecture Oracle Providers Documentation" for the cipher suite names supported by the SunJSSE provider.
Note that the actual use of enabled cipher suites is restricted by algorithm constraints.
Note also that these system properties are currently supported by the JDK Reference Implementation. They are not guaranteed to be supported by other implementations.
Warning: These system properties can be used to configure weak cipher suites, or the configured cipher suites may become more weak over time. We do not recommend using the system properties unless you understand the security implications. Use them at your own risk.
See JDK-8162362
