Weijun,
would you regard this fix as a spec change for an update release ? Do
docs specify what PKI related data types the JDK supports anywhere ? I'm
just wondering if this could introduce an unexpected behavioural change
for some applications. Have all related TCK tests been run ?
regards,
Sean.

Hi All
This is a request to backport 2 jdk8 fixes into jdk7u.
8011867: Accept unknown PKCS #9 attributes
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8011867
8011745: Unknown CertificateChoices
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8011745
Both bugs are about parsing PKI-related data. Previously unsupported
data types are now either supported or ignored without throw an
exception.
The fix is already included in jdk8 as:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/0ab22e58d151
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/1c3fff140324
Both reviewed by vinnie. The patch for jdk7uXXX is identical to the
one in jdk8.
Thanks
Weijun
