Chapter 3. Red Hat build of OpenJDK features The latest Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11 release might include new features. Additionally, the latest release might enhance, deprecate, or remove features that originated from Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11 releases. Note For all the other changes and security fixes, see OpenJDK 11.0.21 Released . 3.1. Red Hat build of OpenJDK new features and enhancements Review the following release notes to understand new features and feature enhancements that Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21 provides: Increased default group size of TLS Diffie-Hellman In Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21, the JDK implementation of Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 uses a default Diffie-Hellman key size of 2048 bits. This supersedes the behavior in releases where the default Diffie-Hellman key size was 1024 bits. This enhancement is relevant when a TLS_DHE cipher suite is negotiated and either the client or the server does not support Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral (FFDHE) parameters. The JDK TLS implementation supports FFDHE, which is enabled by default and can negotiate a stronger key size. As a workaround, you can revert to the key size by setting the jdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize system property to 1024 . However, to mitigate risk, consider using the default key size of 2048 bits. Note This change does not affect TLS 1.3, which already uses a minimum Diffie-Hellman key size of 2048 bits. See JDK-8301700 (JDK Bug System) . Server-side cipher suite preferences used by default In Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21, the SunJSSE provider uses the local server-side cipher suite preferences by default. This supersedes the behavior in releases where the server used the preferences that the connecting client specified. You can revert to the behavior by using SSLParameters.setUseCipherSuitesOrder(false) on the server side. See JDK-8168261 (JDK Bug System) . Support for RSA keys in PKCS#1 format JDK providers can now accept Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) private and public keys in PKCS#1 format, such as the RSA KeyFactory.impl from the SunRsaSign provider. This feature requires that the RSA private or public key object has a PKCS#1 format and an encoding that matches the ASN.1 syntax for a PKCS#1 RSA private key and public key. See JDK-8023980 (JDK Bug System) . -XshowSettings:locale output includes tzdata version In Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21, the -XshowSettings launcher option also prints the tzdata version that the JDK uses. The tzdata version is displayed as part of the output for the -XshowSettings:locale option. For example: See JDK-8305950 (JDK Bug System) . Certigna root CA certificate added In Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21, the cacerts truststore includes the Certigna root certificate: Name: Certigna (Dhimyotis) Alias name: certignarootca Distinguished name: CN=Certigna Root CA, OU=0002 48146308100036, O=Dhimyotis, C=FR See JDK-8314960 (JDK Bug System) . Error thrown if default java.security file fails to load In releases, if the java.security file failed to load successfully, Red Hat build of OpenJDK used a hardcoded set of security properties. However, this set of properties was poorly maintained and it was not obvious to users that the JDK was using these utilities. To address this issue, if the java.security file fails to load successfully, Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21 throws an InternalError instead. See JDK-8155246 (JDK Bug System) . Arrays cloned in several JAAS callback classes In releases, in the ChoiceCallback and ConfirmationCallback JAAS classes, when arrays were passed into a constructor or returned, these arrays were not cloned. This behavior allowed an external program to gain access to the internal fields of these classes. In Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21, the JAAS classes return cloned arrays. See JDK-8242330 (JDK Bug System) . 3.2. Red Hat build of OpenJDK deprecated features Review the following release notes to understand pre-existing features that have been either deprecated or removed in Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21: SECOM Trust Systems root CA1 certificate removed From Red Hat build of OpenJDK 11.0.21 onward, the cacerts truststore no longer includes the SECOM Trust Systems root certificate: Alias name: secomscrootca1 [jdk] Distinguished name: OU=Security Communication RootCA1, O=SECOM Trust.net, C=JP See JDK-8295894 (JDK Bug System) .
