Comment 3 jiri vanek 2016-01-19 16:28:06 UTC

I was fixing this bugzilla in coopoeration with customer, and as 1.6.2 will be released soon, I'm strongly for updating rhels to this bugs-fixing release

Comment 4 jiri vanek 2016-02-03 17:01:12 UTC

Icedtea web 1.6.2 was released today and was pushed to fedora.

Is strongly advice to update rhel 6.8 to 1.6.2. There is opned erratum for rebase ITW in rhel 6.8 to 1.6, I will rebase it directly to 1.6.2
