[7u4] Request for approval for CR 7113275 - compatibility issue with MD2 trust anchor and old X509TrustManager

[Xuelei Fan]

Hi,

This is a request to backport a  JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u4:

   7113275: compatibility issue with MD2 trust anchor and old
X509TrustManager
   http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7113275

The fix has already been pushed to JDK 8, as:
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/82151e860a64

The code changes for jdk7u4 are identical to the ones in jdk8.

This is a regression to JDK 6. We need to backport the fix in that there
compatibility issues in JDK 7 with applications based on JDK 6 and
previous releases.

I intend to push it to
    ssh://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev-gate/jdk


Regards,
Xuelei
