JAVA ENHANCEMENT PROPOSALS (JEP): None. RELEASE NOTES: security-libs/org.ietf.jgss:krb5: JDK-8005819: Support cross-realm MSSFU The support for the Kerberos MSSFU extensions [1] is now extended to cross-realm environments. By leveraging the Kerberos cross-realm referrals enhancement introduced in the context of JDK-8215032, the 'S4U2Self' and 'S4U2Proxy' extensions may be used to impersonate user and service principals located on different realms. [1] - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-sfu/3bff5864-8135-400e-bdd9-33b552051d94 security-libs/javax.security: JDK-8200400: Allow SASL Mechanisms to Be Restricted A security property named `jdk.sasl.disabledMechanisms` has been added that can be used to disable SASL mechanisms. Any disabled mechanism will be ignored if it is specified in the `mechanisms` argument of `Sasl.createSaslClient` or the `mechanism` argument of `Sasl.createSaslServer`. The default value for this security property is empty, which means that no mechanisms are disabled out-of-the-box. client-libs/2d: JDK-8143849: Marlin Renderer in JDK 8u Starting from version 8u311, the Marlin graphics rasterizer and its artifacts will be built and distributed as a part of the JDK/JRE bundles. It is not the default rendering engine, however there is an option to enable it by setting the following system property: `sun.java2d.renderer=sun.java2d.marlin.MarlinRenderingEngine` hotspot/svc: JDK-8144732: Binary format for HPROF updated When dumping the heap in binary format, HPROF format 1.0.2 is always used now. Previously, format 1.0.1 was used for heaps smaller than 2GB. HPROF format 1.0.2 is also used by jhsdb jmap for the serviceability agent. security-libs/javax.crypto: JDK-8205445: RSASSA-PSS Signature Support Added to SunMSCAPI The RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm support has been added to the SunMSCAPI provider. security-libs/java.security: JDK-8146293: Added Support for PKCS#1 v2.2 Algorithms Including RSASSA-PSS Signature The SunRsaSign and SunJCE providers have been enhanced with support for more algorithms defined in PKCS#1 v2.2, such as RSASSA-PSS signature and OAEP using FIPS 180-4 digest algorithms. New constructors and methods have been added to relevant JCA/JCE classes under the `java.security.spec` and `javax.crypto.spec` packages for supporting additional RSASSA-PSS parameters.
