Notes on individual issues:
===========================
security-libs/java.security:
JDK-8260597: Added 2 HARICA Root CA Certificates
================================================
The following root certificates have been added to the cacerts truststore:
Alias Name: haricarootca2015
Distinguished Name: CN=Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions RootCA 2015, O=Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions Cert. Authority, L=Athens, C=GR
Alias Name: haricaeccrootca2015
Distinguished Name: CN=Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions ECC RootCA 2015, O=Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions Cert. Authority, L=Athens, C=GR
JDK-8236730: Weak Named Curves in TLS, CertPath, and Signed JAR Disabled by Default
===================================================================================
Weak named curves are disabled by default by adding them to the
following `disabledAlgorithms` security properties:
* jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms
* jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms
* jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms
Red Hat has always disabled many of the curves provided by upstream,
so the only addition in this release is:
* secp256k1
The curves that remain enabled are:
* secp256r1
* secp384r1
* secp521r1
* X25519
* X448
When large numbers of weak named curves need to be disabled, adding
individual named curves to each `disabledAlgorithms` property would be
overwhelming. To relieve this, a new security property,
`jdk.disabled.namedCurves`, is implemented that can list the named
curves common to all of the `disabledAlgorithms` properties. To use
the new property in the `disabledAlgorithms` properties, precede the
full property name with the keyword `include`. Users can still add
individual named curves to `disabledAlgorithms` properties separate
from this new property. No other properties can be included in the
`disabledAlgorithms` properties.
To restore the named curves, remove the `include
jdk.disabled.namedCurves` either from specific or from all
`disabledAlgorithms` security properties. To restore one or more
curves, remove the specific named curve(s) from the
`jdk.disabled.namedCurves` property.
JDK-8244286: Tools Warn If Weak Algorithms Are Used
===================================================
The `keytool` and `jarsigner` tools have been updated to warn users
when weak cryptographic algorithms are used in keys, certificates, and
signed JARs before they are disabled. The weak algorithms are set in
the `jdk.security.legacyAlgorithms` security property in the
`java.security` configuration file. In this release, the tools issue
warnings for the SHA-1 hash algorithm and 1024-bit RSA/DSA keys.
security-libs/javax.net.ssl:
JDK-8256490: Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1
====================================
TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are versions of the TLS protocol that are no longer
considered secure and have been superseded by more secure and modern
versions (TLS 1.2 and 1.3).
These versions have now been disabled by default. If you encounter
issues, you can, at your own risk, re-enable the versions by removing
"TLSv1" and/or "TLSv1.1" from the `jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms`
security property in the `java.security` configuration file.
JDK-8242147: New System Properties to Configure the TLS Signature Schemes
=========================================================================
Two new system properties have been added to customize the TLS
signature schemes in JDK. `jdk.tls.client.SignatureSchemes` has been
added for the TLS client side, and `jdk.tls.server.SignatureSchemes`
has been added for the server side.
Each system property contains a comma-separated list of supported
signature scheme names specifying the signature schemes that could be
used for the TLS connections.
The names are described in the "Signature Schemes" section of the
*Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification*.
tools/javac:
JDK-8177368: Several incorporation steps are silently failing when an error should be reported
==============================================================================================
Reporting previously silent errors found during incorporation, JLS
8§18.3, was supposed to be a clean-up with performance only
implications. But consider the test case:
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
class Klass {
public static <A> List<List<A>> foo(List<? extends A>... lists) {
return foo(Arrays.asList(lists));
}
public static <B> List<List<B>> foo(List<? extends List<? extends B>> lists) {
return null;
}
}
This code was not accepted before the patch for [1], but after this
patch the compiler is accepting it. Accepting this code is the right
behavior as not reporting incorporation errors was a bug in the
compiler. While determining the applicability of method: <B>
List<List<B>> foo(List<? extends List<? extends B>> lists) for which
we have the constraints: b <: Object t <: List<? extends B> t<:Object
List<? extends A> <: t first, inference variable b is selected for
instantiation: b = CAP1 of ? extends A so this implies that: t <:
List<? extends CAP1 of ? extends A> t<: Object List<? extends A> <: t
Now all the bounds are checked for consistency. While checking if
List<? extends A> is a subtype of List<? extends CAP1 of ? extends A>
a bound error is reported. Before the compiler was just swallowing
it. As now the error is reported while inference variable b is being
instantiated, the bound set is rolled back to it's initial state, 'b'
is instantiated to Object, and with this instantiation the constraint
set is solvable, the method is applicable, it's the only applicable
one and the code is accepted as correct. The compiler behavior in this
case is defined at JLS 8 §18.4
This fix has source compatibility impact, right now code that wasn't
being accepted is now being accepted by the javac compiler. Currently
there are no reports of any other kind of incompatibility.

Notes on individual issues:
===========================
core-svc/java.lang.management:
JDK-8236876: OperatingSystemMXBean Methods Inside a Container Return Container Specific Data
============================================================================================
When executing in a container, or other virtualized operating
environment, the following `OperatingSystemMXBean` methods in this
release return container specific information, if
available. Otherwise, they return host specific data:
* getFreePhysicalMemorySize()
* getTotalPhysicalMemorySize()
* getFreeSwapSpaceSize()
* getTotalSwapSpaceSize()
* getSystemCpuLoad()
security-libs/java.security:
JDK-8250756: Added Entrust Root Certification Authority - G4 certificate
========================================================================
The Entrust root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:
Alias Name: entrustrootcag4
Distinguished Name: CN=Entrust Root Certification Authority - G4, OU="(c) 2015 Entrust, Inc. - for authorized use only", OU=See www.entrust.net/legal-terms, O="Entrust, Inc.", C=US
JDK-8250860: Added 3 SSL Corporation Root CA Certificates
=========================================================
The following root certificates have been added to the cacerts truststore for the SSL Corporation:
Alias Name: sslrootrsaca
Distinguished Name: CN=SSL.com Root Certification Authority RSA, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US
Alias Name: sslrootevrsaca
Distinguished Name: CN=SSL.com EV Root Certification Authority RSA R2, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US
Alias Name: sslrooteccca
Distinguished Name: CN=SSL.com Root Certification Authority ECC, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US
security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11:
JDK-8221441: SunPKCS11 Provider Upgraded with Support for PKCS#11 v2.40
=======================================================================
The SunPKCS11 provider has been updated with support for PKCS#11
v2.40. This version adds support for more algorithms such as the
AES/GCM/NoPadding cipher, DSA signatures using SHA-2 family of message
digests, and RSASSA-PSS signatures when the corresponding PKCS11
mechanisms are supported by the underlying PKCS11 library.
security-libs/javax.security:
JDK-8242059: Support for canonicalize in krb5.conf
==================================================
The 'canonicalize' flag in the [krb5.conf file][0] is now supported by
the JDK Kerberos implementation. When set to *true*, RFC 6806 [1] name
canonicalization is requested by clients in TGT requests to KDC
services (AS protocol). Otherwise, and by default, it is not
requested.
The new default behavior is different from previous releases where
name canonicalization was always requested by clients in TGT requests
to KDC services (provided that support for RFC 6806[1] was not
explicitly disabled with the *sun.security.krb5.disableReferrals*
system or security properties).

security-libs/javax.xml.crypto:
JDK-8202891: Updated xmldsig Implementation to Apache Santuario 2.1.1
=====================================================================
The XMLDSig provider implementation in the `java.xml.crypto` module has been updated to version 2.1.1 of Apache Santuario.
New features include:
1. Support for the SHA-224 and SHA-3 DigestMethod algorithms specified
in RFC 6931.
2. Support for the HMAC-SHA224, RSA-SHA224, ECDSA-SHA224, and
RSASSA-PSS family of SignatureMethod algorithms specified in RFC 6931.
JDK-8238185: New OpenJDK-specific JDK 8 Updates System Property to fallback to legacy Base64 Encoding format
============================================================================================================
The upgrade to the Apache Santuario libraries (see above) introduced
an issue where XML signature using Base64 encoding resulted in
appending `
` or `
` to the encoded output. This behavioural
change was made in the Apache Santuario codebase to comply with RFC
2045. The Santuario team has adopted a position of keeping their
libraries compliant with RFC 2045.
Earlier versions of OpenJDK 8 using the legacy encoder returns encoded
data in a format without `
` or `
`.
Therefore a new system property, specific to the 8 update stream,
`com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.lineFeedOnly` is made
available to fall back to the legacy Base64 encoded format.
Users can set this flag in one of two ways:
1. -Dcom.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.lineFeedOnly=true
2. System.setProperty("com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.lineFeedOnly", "true")
This new system property is disabled by default. It has no effect on
default behaviour nor when
`com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.ignoreLineBreaks` property
is set.
Later JDK family versions will only support the recommended property:
`com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.ignoreLineBreaks`
JDK-8254177: US/Pacific-New Zone name removed as part of tzdata2020b
====================================================================
Following JDK's update to tzdata2020b, the long-obsolete files
pacificnew and systemv have been removed. As a result, the
"US/Pacific-New" zone name declared in the pacificnew data file is no
longer available for use.
Information regarding the update can be viewed at

JDK-8240687: JDK Flight Recorder Integrated to OpenJDK 8u
=========================================================
OpenJDK 8u now contains the backport of JEP 328: Flight Recorder
(https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/328) from later versions of OpenJDK.
JFR is a low-overhead framework to collect and provide data helpful to
troubleshoot the performance of the OpenJDK runtime and of Java
applications. It consists of a new API to define custom events under
the jdk.jfr namespace and a JMX interface to interact with the
framework. The recording can also be initiated with the application
startup using the -XX:+FlightRecorder flag or via jcmd. JFR replaces
the +XX:EnableTracing feature introduced in JEP 167, providing a more
efficient way to retrieve the same information. For compatibility
reasons, +XX:EnableTracing is still accepted, however no data will be
printed.
While JFR is not built by default upstream, it is included in Red Hat
binaries for supported architectures (x86_64, AArch64 & PowerPC 64)
hotspot/runtime:
JDK-8205622: JFR Start Failure After AppCDS Archive Created with JFR StartFlightRecording
=========================================================================================
JFR will be disabled with a warning message if it is enabled during
CDS dumping. The user will see the following warning message:
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: JFR will be disabled during CDS dumping
if JFR is enabled during CDS dumping such as in the following command
line:
$ java -Xshare:dump -XX:StartFlightRecording=dumponexit=true

JDK-8244166: Removal of DocuSign Root CA Certificate
====================================================
The following expired DocuSign root CA certificate was removed from

JDK-8240191: Allow SunPKCS11 initialization with NSS when external FIPS modules are present in the Security Modules Database
============================================================================================================================
The SunPKCS11 security provider can now be initialized with NSS when
FIPS-enabled external modules are configured in the Security Modules
Database (NSSDB). Prior to this change, the SunPKCS11 provider would
throw a RuntimeException with the message: "FIPS flag set for
non-internal module" when such a library was configured for NSS in
non-FIPS mode.
This change allows the JDK to work properly with recent NSS releases
on GNU/Linux operating systems when the system-wide FIPS policy is
turned on.
Further information can be found in JDK-8238555.

hotspot/svc:
JDK-8174881: Binary format for HPROF updated
============================================
When dumping the heap in binary format, HPROF format 1.0.2 is always
used now. Previously, format 1.0.1 was used for heaps smaller than
2GB. HPROF format 1.0.2 is also used by jhsdb jmap for the
serviceability agent.
security-libs/java.security:
JDK-8229518: Added Support for PKCS#1 v2.2 Algorithms Including RSASSA-PSS Signature
====================================================================================
The SunRsaSign and SunJCE providers have been enhanced with support
for more algorithms defined in PKCS#1 v2.2, such as RSASSA-PSS
signature and OAEP using FIPS 180-4 digest algorithms. New
constructors and methods have been added to relevant JCA/JCE classes
under the `java.security.spec` and `javax.crypto.spec` packages for
supporting additional RSASSA-PSS parameters.
security-libs/javax.crypto:
JDK-8205471: RSASSA-PSS Signature Support Added to SunMSCAPI
============================================================
The RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm support has been added to the SunMSCAPI provider.
security-libs/javax.security:
JDK-8227564: Allow SASL Mechanisms to Be Restricted
===================================================
A security property named `jdk.sasl.disabledMechanisms` has been added
that can be used to disable SASL mechanisms. Any disabled mechanism
will be ignored if it is specified in the `mechanisms` argument of
`Sasl.createSaslClient` or the `mechanism` argument of
`Sasl.createSaslServer`. The default value for this security property
is empty, which means that no mechanisms are disabled out-of-the-box.
