openjdk and java security issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
    Will someone on this email list please answer these questions:
1. Oracle recently (2/1) released an emergency update to java se 7, that fixed most open security issues. Since openjdk is the reference implementation for Java SE, does this mean that all updates are entered into openjdk first? 2. Red Hat released a new version of openjdk 6, that fixed "many" security bugs, as well as other issues. Does it fix all the ones fixed by Oracle? The security holes are the same in openjdk 6 and openjdk 7. 3. What is the current status of openjdk 7, with respect to the documented security vulnerabilities? 4. How do Red Hat and Oracle interact with respect to openjdk releases, since I thought openjdk had its own people controlling releases?

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Linda Jacobson
