Security Baselines
The security baselines for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) at the time of the release of JDK 8u112 are specified in the following table:
| JRE Family Version | JRE Security Baseline (Full Version String) |
|---|---|
| 8 | 1.8.0_111-b14 |
| 7 | 1.7.0_121-b15 |
| 6 | 1.6.0_131-b14 |
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 8u112) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for January 17, 2017.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u112) on February 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.
Changes
security-libs/java.security
SunPKCS11 Provider no longer offering SecureRandom by default
SecureRandom.PKCS11 from the SunPKCS11 Provider is disabled by default on Solaris because the native PKCS11 implementation has poor performance and is not recommended. If your application requires SecureRandom.PKCS11, you can re-enable it by removing "SecureRandom" from the disabledMechanisms list in conf/security/sunpkcs11-solaris.cfg
Performance improvements have also been made in the java.security.SecureRandom class. Improvements in the JDK implementation have allowed for synchronization to be removed from the java.security.SecureRandom.nextBytes(byte[] bytes) method.
See JDK-8098581
Known Issues
deploy
JVM throws NullPointerExceptions on macOS Sierra 10.12
On macOS Sierra 10.12, if a user presses modifier keys (such as Command, Shift, or Alt) while an applet is running in a browser, an error box named “Internal Error” might be displayed. It will also show the “exec” icon in the macOS dock. The user can dismiss the applet, or try to rerun the applet while not pressing a modifier key. To fix this problem, users can install JRE 8u112.
See JDK-8165867.
Bug Fixes
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory.
