Note: If the web browser plug-in provided by the icedtea-web package was installed, the issues exposed via Java applets could have been exploited without user interaction if a user visited a malicious website.
Bug Fix(es) :
* This update applies changes from OpenJDK upstream version 8u172, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version, 8u171.
(BZ# 1588364)
* OpenJDK was recently updated to support reading the system certificate authority database (cacerts) directly. As an unintended consequence, this removed the ability to read certificates from the user-provided jssecacerts file. With this update, that ability is restored by reading from that file first, if available. (BZ#1593737)
