As a security improvement, this update modifies OpenJDK behavior to reject DH key sizes below 768 bits by default, preventing a possible downgrade attack. Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to information disclosure. An attacker could exploit these to expose sensitive data over the network. (CVE-2015-2621, CVE-2015-2632) A vulnerability was discovered with how the JNDI component of the OpenJDK JRE handles DNS resolutions.
