USN-3830-1: OpenJDK regression

Releases

• Ubuntu 18.04 ESM
• Ubuntu 16.04 ESM

Packages

• openjdk-8 - Open Source Java implementation
• openjdk-lts - Open Source Java implementation

Details

USN-3804-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenJDK. Unfortunately, that update
introduced a regression when validating JAR files that prevented Java
applications from finding classes in some situations. This update
fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

• openjdk-11-jre - 10.0.2+13-1ubuntu0.18.04.4
• openjdk-11-jre-headless - 10.0.2+13-1ubuntu0.18.04.4

Ubuntu 16.04

• openjdk-8-jdk - 8u191-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
• openjdk-8-jre - 8u191-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

• openjdk-8-jre-jamvm - 8u191-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any Java
applications or applets to make all the necessary changes.
