What’s New

  • From Azul Prime 24.01.0.0, the garbage collector’s (GC) CPU usage is logged by default. Previously, you had to use the option -XX+:PrintGCDetails. You can view these metrics now by default in GC Log Analyzer in the GC CPU Usage graph. GC CPU Usage is split into 3 metrics, "marking CPU usage," "relocation CPU usage," and "fixup pass," which appear as "New GC Mark," "New GC Reloc," and "New GC Fixup" in the GC CPU Usage graph.

  • Azul Prime 24.01.0.0 includes a new lightweight, fully functional distribution of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Java 8, 11, 17 and 21. The new Java JREs saves a significant amount of space by removing various debugging options and developer options. The Azul Prime Builds of JRE still fully supports Optimizer Hub and Azul Vulnerability Detection (AVD).

  • Azul Prime 24.01.0.0 introduces a small but significant change to the behavior of -XX:ProfileStartupLimitInSeconds. Now, when you set this option to 0, it means 0 seconds. Previously, if you set this flag to 0, it would be interpreted as "infinite". You can still specify "infinite" by using any negative number, for example -1. The default behavior without setting this option remains the same, i.e. the default remains 60.

  • January 2024 CPU and PSU release security fixes.

Notes:

ID Notes

1

This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator).

2

This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security.

3

This vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using Untrusted applications, such as through a web service.
