Bug Fixes
- security-libs/javax.net.ssl
- java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() now always returns the ZipEntry instance with a / ended entry name for directory entry
- The java.util.zip.ZipEntry API doc specifies "A directory entry is defined to be one whose name ends with a /". However, in previous JDK releases, java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry(String entryName) may return a ZipEntry instance with an entry name that does not end with / for an existing zip directory entry when the passed in argument entryName does not end with a /, and when there is a matching zip directory entry with name entryName + / in the zip file
- With this release, the name of the ZipEntry instance returned from java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() always ends with / for any zip directory entry
- To revert to the previous behavior, set the system property jdk.util.zip.ensureTrailingSlash to "false"
- This change was made in order to fix a regression introduced in JDK 8u141 when verifying signed JARs that has caused some WebStart applications to fail to load
- This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 8u144 Bug Fixes page
