ColdFusion users should be aware that there were updates released last week (Apr 20) to the long-term support (LTS) versions of Oracle Java, 8 and 11 (the two versions supported currently by CF2021 and CF2018).
For more on the updates, see the Oracle technotes:
For some, that’s all they need to hear.
For other folks, you may want to (need to) to know a lot more. For that, see a post I have just done on my own blog with more info related to this update, and pointers to still more I’ve written about past Java updates. I also explain there how I can assist you directly in applying the updates, if that may be helpful.
Sadly, as of this writing, the Adobe downloads page offering Java installers has NOT yet been updated to offer this new update. I have raised this concern to Adobe last week. See my post above for discussions I have offered in the past about how the binaries offered at Oracle are identical in my testing. I will update this to strike this paragraph when I see the new downloads are in place.
It’s just as important to keep the JVM updated as it is to keep your CF version updated.
