The full version string for this update release is 1.8.0_172-b11 (where "b" means "build"). The version number is 8u172.
IANA Data 2018c
JDK 8u172 contains IANA time zone data version 2018c. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
Security Baselines
The security baselines for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) at the time of the release of JDK 8u172 are specified in the following table:
JRE Family Version | JRE Security Baseline (Full Version String) |
---|---|
8 | 1.8.0_171-b11 |
7 | 1.7.0_181-b09 |
6 | 1.6.0_191-b09 |
JRE Expiration Date
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available.

This JRE (version 8u172) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for July 17, 2018.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u172) on August 17, 2018. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), the JRE will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version. For more information, see JRE Expiration Date.
Known Issues
docs/release_notes

The changes made under JDK-8033530 introduced an inconsistency between the implementation for and the documentation of the following methods:
java.awt.Toolkit.getImage(URL u)
java.awt.Toolkit.createimage(URL u)
The description in the API document should read:
This method first checks if there is a security manager installed. If so, the method calls the security managerscheckPermission()
method with the corresponding permission to ensure that the access to the image or the image creation is allowed. If the connection to the specified URL requires either URLPermission or SocketPermission, thenURLPermission
is used for security checks.
JDK-8154405
Changes
client-libs/java.awt

This release adds support for automatically showing the touch keyboard for Swing/AWT text components on Microsoft Windows 8 or later. A user can display the touch keyboard either by using a touch screen to tap the text component area or by using a mouse to click in the area, when a keyboard is not attached to a computer.
The system property
awt.touchKeyboardAutoShowIsEnabled
controls whether this functionality is enabled in the JDK. This functionality is enabled by default. However, if the functionality is not needed, the user can switch it off from the command line by setting the system property to false
:-Dawt.touchKeyboardAutoShowIsEnabled=false
See JDK-8166772
Bug Fixes
This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Critical Patch Update. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 8u172 Bug Fixes page.
