Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was discovered that the Security component in OpenJDK failed to check the digest algorithm strength when generating DSA signatures. The use of a digest weaker than the key strength could lead to the generation of signatures that were weaker than expected.

Description Tomas Hoger 2016-04-18 08:56:53 UTC 
It was discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK failed to properly check DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) parameters. The use of keys with incorrect parameters could lead to disclosure of sensitive data.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2016-04-19 19:01:00 UTC 
Related note in Oracle JDK release notes:

  DSA signature generation is now subject to a key strength check

  For signature generation, if the security strength of the digest algorithm
  is weaker than the security strength of the key used to sign the signature
  (e.g. using (2048, 256)-bit DSA keys with SHA1withDSA signature), the
  operation will fail with the error message:

  "The security strength of SHA1 digest algorithm is not sufficient for this
  key size."
