Notes on individual issues:
===========================
core-svc/javax.management:
JDK-8341496: Improve JMX connections
====================================
With this release of OpenJDK, SSL connections created by
`javax.rmi.ssl.SslRMIClientSocketFactory` now enable HTTPS-based
endpoint identification by default. This can be disabled by setting
the new system property
`jdk.rmi.ssl.client.enableEndpointIdentification` to false.
security-libs/java.security:
JDK-8368032: Enhance Certificate Checking
=========================================
OpenJDK supports the authorityInfoAccess extension in X.509
certificates when the `com.sun.security.enableAIAcaIssuers` system
property is set to `true`. With this release of OpenJDK, a security
and system property `com.sun.security.allowedAIALocations` is
introduced which acts as a filter on the URIs specified in the
extension. By default, the property is empty, which will cause all
URIs to be denied when the extension is enabled. A value of `any` may
be used to allow all URIs or a whitespace-separated list of filters
may be used for more fine-grained control. The syntax of the filters
is specified in the `java.security` file. A non-empty value for the
system property takes precedence over the security property.
Happy hacking,
