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.

Description Jan Kurik 2015-08-17 12:17:48 UTC 
This bug has been copied from bug #1251560 and has been proposed
to be backported to 6.7 z-stream (EUS).
Comment 3 jiri vanek 2015-08-17 12:24:50 UTC 
Hello, I strongly suggest to NOT backport this bugfix.

The fix delivered via 1254197 should be enough to fyx symptoms of this bug (the global fix ix much deeper and should go to rhel 7.3 )
Comment 4 Jan Kurik 2015-08-17 12:30:51 UTC 
Chris, may I ask you please to evaluate the zstream request and close this bug if we do not want to have this delivered via zstream ?

Hello Jiri and Jan,

I tested the latest build from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217177#c49 with positive results for BZs 1217177 and this BZ.

[root@rhel6 ~]# rpm -q java-1.8.0-openjdk

I think we can close this z stream clone as it appears the fix will already be included in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254197

Fix is not included. It is coincidence that it is no longer visible. (And will not reappear for rhel 6 and any openjdk in case of java/javac links)

But generally, the alternatives mechanism needs to be improved. Especially in rhel 7.
