Inconsistencies were found in the way the java.net.URI and com.sun.jndi.toolkit.url.URI classes in the JNDI component of OpenJDK parsed URI strings. These inconsistencies could be used to make a Java application accept invalid or malformed URI strings. Parsing of URL strings in built-in JNDI providers were made more strict as part of the fix.
