Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

6.4.x and JDK 1.8.0_171.


How reproducible:

Just create/configure a vault and use JDK 1.8.0_171+, for example doing the following vault command:

./vault.sh -keystore ${JBOSS_HOME}/vault/vault.keystore --keystore-password XXXXX -alias vault --vault-block vb --attribute password --sec-attr YYYYY --enc-dir ${JBOSS_HOME}/vault --iteration 120 --salt 1234abcd


Additional info:

The info seems to be produced by a change in openjdk. See:
