Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

OpenJDK will need to be updated across all versions of RHEL in July for the next quarterly security update. We should prepare for this by building and testing the upstream build promotions of OpenJDK which we release throughout May & June. This will reduce the amount of work that needs to be done during the critical period in early July, when the security patches are added.

We will include these build promotions in the most recent z-stream of each major RHEL version (currently 7.9-z, 8.7.0-z & 9.1.0-z), and current y-stream. Depending on scheduling, y-stream may need to be excluded if the expected GA occurs prior to the security update. This is not the case in July 2023. For z-stream, changes should wait until we know there are no batch updates to be shipped before the security update. For RHEL 9, this date is 2022-06-05 (REL_PREP deadline of 2023-06-13).
