• JDK: Enhance Certificate Handling (CVE-2025-53057)

Bug Fix(es):

• Since the 8.8 release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and the 9.2 release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, OpenJDK 8 has used a single build repackaged for each major Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. With this release, this same build is now also used by the following older releases: 8.2, 8.4, 8.6, and 9.0. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 systems, this means that OpenJDK's FIPS mode will now be enabled by default when the system is in FIPS mode. To revert to the previous behaviour, use -Dcom.redhat.fips=false (RHEL-118777, RHEL-118778, RHEL-118779, RHEL-118782)
