There are updates made to the IBM® 64-bit Runtime Environment for z/TPF, Java™ Technology Edition, Version 8 to address various product security vulnerabilities. For more information, see the security bulletin.
There are additional z/TPF updates provided with APAR PJ46945. The following z/TPF-specific changes are included:
