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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2016:2139 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE java-1.8.0-openjdk bug fix and enhancement update 2016-11-03 13:12:04 UTC

Description Andrew John Hughes 2015-07-22 20:45:38 UTC
This is a clone of bug 1208307 which makes the same change on RHEL 6.

It follows bug 1121210 which added elliptic curve cryptography support in OpenJDK 7 for RHEL 7.2.

Comment 5 John Horne 2016-07-04 14:51:29 UTC
Can I ask what is happening with this bug fix?
It says it is fixed in version java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.el7 but we are already on version java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-1.b14.el7_2 and ECC is still disabled.

Comment 6 Andrew John Hughes 2016-07-04 15:11:33 UTC
The fix is scheduled for release in RHEL 7.3.

java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.72-4.b15.el7 is a RHEL 7.3 RPM.
java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-1.b14.el7_2 is a RHEL 7.2 RPM.
