8u121.

Oracle JDK 8u121 has been released on Tuesday, January 17th, and the 
corresponding applicable changes have already made their way into the 
jdk8u master forest.

If a change is applicable for inclusion in a future CPU release as a 
critical fix, then after its proposed for inclusion per the process 
mentioned above, and in case it has been approved, it would appear in a 
future CPU release - not sooner than in the next scheduled one.
