JDK 7u25 release introduces the permissions and codebase attributes in the JAR Manifest File. Note that disabling on line revocation checking should only be considered in managed environments as it decreases security protections. To avoid such delay, they may choose to disable on line revocation checking through the JCP. Enterprises with managed networks and without access to the Internet (resulting in no access to the revocation services provided by Certificate Authorities) will see a significant delay in startup times. Under normal circumstances revocation checking will have a slight impact on startup performance for applets and web start applications. Advanced options in the Java Control Panel(JCP) can be set to manage the checking process. Certificate Revocationīefore signed Java applets and Java Web Start applications are run, the signing certificate is checked to ensure that it has not been revoked. Local Applets return NULL for codebaseīeginning with JDK 7u25, an applet's getCodeBase() method will return NULL when the applet is running from the local file system. To properly sign a jar, index entries must be created before the jar is signed. As a result of this fix, signed jars that contained an unsigned index.list will now either trigger the unsigned code warning dialog or be blocked depending on the security level and whether the JRE is above or below the security baseline. In JDK 7u25, a bug that incorrectly treated jars in non-jnlp applets with an unsigned index.list entry as properly signed if the rest of the jar was signed, has been fixed. The JDK 7 blacklist is now dynamically updated to include the following: The expiration date for JRE 7u25 is November 15, 2013. JRE Security Baseline (Full Version String)įor more information about security baselines, see Deploying Java Applets With Family JRE Versions in Java Plug-in for Internet Explorer. The security baselines for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) at the time of the release of JDK 7u25 are specified in the following table: For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software. JDK 7u25 contains Olson time zone data version 2013b.
