The Adobe downloads page for CF-related installers DOES now have the updated Java downloads in its bottom section.Since the focus of my blog and work is indeed mostly focused on those using Adobe ColdFusion, I will clarify for them that: If you are not using Adobe ColdFusion, you can skip the next section. (As of today, that second link is not working, but even in April it wasn't there immediately but was there in time.) Note that both those documents cover all Oracle products, but I have linked to the Java-specific sections of the pages.įinally, see the listing of specific bug fixes in each update, as offered in a link at the bottom of those update technotes for each release above. Second, see the Java security fixes in these Jul 2022 updates or Text Form of Risk Matrix for Oracle Java SE. Beware a change in the April 2021 JVM update, if you may be skipping over itįinding more info on these Jul 2022 Java updatesįirst, see the technotes for each of 1.8.0_341, 11.0.16, and 17.0.4, and 18.0.2.News for my CF audience (getting the Java updates from Adobe or Oracle, how to update, why you should NOT for now use Java 17, etc).Finding more info on these Jul 2022 Java updates.

I also a bit more if you may be skipping to this from a JVM update from before Apr 2021, as well as info for Adobe ColdFusion users on where to find the updated Java versions, what JVM versions Adobe CF supports, and more.įor some folks, that's all they need to hear. For more on each of them, including what changed and the several security fixes they each contain (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), see the Oracle resources I list below.

Oracle calls them "critical patch updates" (yep, CPU), but they are scheduled quarterly updates, so take that "critical" nomenclature for what it is. And as is generally the case with these Java updates, most of them have the same changes and fixes as each other (though not always). (Note that prior to Java 9, releases of Java were known technically as 1.x, so 8 is referred to in resources below as 1.8.) Here's a heads-up that some will want to hear about: there are new JVM updates released today (Jul 19, 2022) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, and 17, as well as the new interim update 18.
