Important Notice: Oracle Java JRE Updates

During the latest update cycle, a redirection issue was identified in the Oracle Java package, which could lead to unexpected behavior or service interruptions in certain environments.

This issue only affects the Oracle Java package — all other applications remain unaffected.

As Easy2Patch, we continuously verify all software packages in our catalog. However, both automated and manual processes can occasionally lead to such issues. Therefore, we strongly recommend testing and validating updates before deploying them to production environments.

What You Should Do

• Pause all Java updates. Temporarily suspend any update actions related to Oracle Java. Stop ADR, automatic deployment, or manual distribution tasks involving Oracle Java.

• Update your catalog. Download and apply the latest, verified catalog. The new catalog includes the Oracle Java package with the correct configuration.

• Test before deployment. Especially for business-critical components such as Oracle Java, always validate updates in a test environment before applying them to production. Deployments made without verifying application or service dependencies may affect system stability.

Why It Matters

Oracle Java is a runtime component that many applications depend on directly. A misconfigured JRE/JDK update can lead to application startup failures or stopped services.

Therefore, all users—especially those running Java-based business applications—are strongly advised to follow proper testing and deployment practices using the updated catalog.

Current Status

• The updated and verified catalog has been published.

• The latest Oracle Java package now includes the correct version and references, ensuring safe deployment in all future updates
