• IcedTea6 1.9.13 (based on OpenJDK6 b20)
• IcedTea6 1.10.6 (based on OpenJDK6 b22)

and one for IcedTea 2.x, which uses OpenJDK7 as its base:

• IcedTea 2.0.1 (based on OpenJDK7 u1 + u3 security patches)

All updates contain the following security fixes:

• S7082299, CVE-2011-3571: Fix in AtomicReferenceArray
• S7088367, CVE-2011-3563: Fix issues in java sound
• S7110683, CVE-2012-0502: Issues with some KeyboardFocusManager method
• S7110687, CVE-2012-0503: Issues with TimeZone class

Full details of each release can be found below. For details of the 1.11.1 security release, see Omair’s e-mail.

*PLEASE NOTE*: With this release, the 1.8 series is now NO LONGER SUPPORTED. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to a new release series; either 1.9.13, 1.10.6 or 1.11.1 for OpenJDK6. Alternatively, make the jump to OpenJDK7 with 2.0.1 or the new 2.1.0 (to be released shortly).

The patch for this issue did not apply to the older versions of HotSpot (14 and 16) supported by the 1.8 release series. It is believed that the underlying issue is also not present in these versions, but for safety, we recommend using the latest 1.10.x release series where possible.
