> Backporting JDK-8329754: The ThreadSafe attribute is ignored for SecureRandom algorithm aliases. Fixes a bug that occurs when a provider registers an alias for the `SecureRandom` algorithm with "ThreadSafe=true" and where the `SecureRandom` instances using the alias do not honor the `ThreadSafe` attribute.

Thanks for taking a look. It's a fair point that relevant code would execute in parallel rather than synchronously - although this would only cause issues in code that depends on this implementation bug. As you bring up, since the existing implementation is long standing, closing this one.
