You need to have someone backport:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236897

to JDK 8u. It is a simple enough process - see:

https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2020-June/012002.html

for some guidance, and:

https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/jdk8u/Main

but I'm unable to perform that for you.

Cheers,
David
