Hi All
This is a request to backport a jdk8 fix into jdk7u-dev.
8024861: Incomplete token triggers GSS-API NullPointerException
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8024861
It avoids an NPE by substituting it with a GSSException.
The fix is already included in jdk8 as:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/eb2c81533876
The review thread was
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2013-September/008961.html
The patch for jdk7u-dev is identical to the one in jdk8.
The fix is low-risk, and isolated. A new regression test added. Existing
tests also run fine.
Thanks
Weijun
