8u242 Rampdown: Bug Triage

[Andrew John Hughes]

Hi all,

We have reached the point of rampdown for 8u242 where work will now be
deferred to 8u252, unless a critical request to include it in 8u242 is
approved (see [0]).

I've been going through the list of bugs which are marked as fixed in
Oracle's proprietary 8u241/2 [1] to see what is still missing in OpenJDK 8u:

1. JDK-8041620: "Solaris Studio 12.4 C++ 5.13 change in behavior for
placing friend declarations within surrounding scope".

No sign of a backport for 8u.

2. JDK-8056313: "TEST_BUG: java/util/Timer/NameConstructors.java fails
intermittently"

No sign of a backport to 8u.

3. JDK-8080462: "Update SunPKCS11 provider with PKCS11 v2.40 support"

Still under review; postponed to 8u252.

4. JDK-8143925: "enhancing CounterMode.crypt() for
AESCrypt.implEncryptBlock()"

No sign of a backport to 8u.

5. JDK-8146581: "Minor corrections to the patch submitted for earlier
bug id - 8143925"

No sign of a backport to 8u and depends on #5.

6. JDK-8148188: "Enhance the security libraries to record events of

No sign of a backport to 8u.

8. JDK-8177334: "Update xmldsig implementation to Apache Santuario 2.1.1"

Major backport already defered from 8u232. Postponed to 8u252.

Waiting on CSR https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8230491

10. JDK-8201627: "Kerberos sequence number issues"

11. JDK-8205507: "jdk/javax/xml/crypto/dsig/GenerationTests.java timed out"

Depends on 8177334 (#9), so also deferred to 8u252.

12. JDK-8217581: "JDK 8 javadoc man page does not list correct values
for -source"

No sign of a backport to 8u.

13. JDK-8217878: "ENVELOPING XML signature no longer works"

Depends on 8177334 (#9), so also deferred to 8u252.

14. JDK-8218605: "Startup Splash Screen of SwingSet2 flashes in smaller
coordinates before appearing in the final size"

No progress since 8u232.

15. JDK-8218629: "XML Digital Signature throws NAMESPACE_ERR exception
on OpenJDK 11, works 8/9/10"

Depends on 8177334 (#8), so also deferred to 8u252.

16. JDK-8219013: "Update Apache Santuario (XML Signature) to version 2.1.3"

18. JDK-8228835: "Memory leak in PKCS11 provider when using AES GCM"

Caused by 8080462 (#3), so also deferred to 8u252.

19. JDK-8229243: "SunPKCS11-Solaris provider tests failing on Solaris 11.4"

20. JDK-8229767: "Typo in java.security: Sasl.createClient and
Sasl.createServer"

21. JDK-8229868: "Update Apache Santuario TPRM version"

Can be combined with 8219013 (#16), so deferred to 8u252.

22. JDK-8230303: "JDB hangs when running monitor command"

No sign of a backport to 8u.

23. JDK-8230751: "The underline of the text doesn't display unless
resizing the window with the option "-server -d64 -Xmixed
-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel".

No patch, no sign of a fix for 8u.

24. JDK-8210776: "Upgrade X Window System 6.8.2 to the latest XWD 1.0.7"

Patch not posted until 2019-12-16, deferred to 8u252.

No sign of a backport to 8u.

29. JDK-8233223: "Add Amazon Root CA certificates"

No sign of a backport to 8u.

Although this appears to be a long list, a number of them are related,
particularly #8 and friends which have already been deferred from 8u232.
Hopefully, there will be some progress on that for 8u252. The highest
numbered bugs also seem to have been added to the list very late in the
release cycle.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted patches and/or reviews during the
8u242 development cycle. Onwards to 8u252!
