Hello all,

Please approve the following fix for 7u40: Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/viewbug.do?bugid=8014805 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~vinnie/8014805/webrev.00/ Code review: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2013-June/007886.html This simple fix corrects the way an Authority Key Identifier (AKID) X.509 certificate extension is handled during OCSP certificate validation. Two forms of AKID are permitted: hash-based and name/serial number based. The fix for 7168191 (7u6) added a check to match AKIDs when distinguishing certificates with the same subject name. This fix corrects that check to handle the rare case when a certificate contains a non-hash-based AKID. This problem does not occur in JDK 8 (because a different code path is used). Thanks.
