ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Linux x64 Java8 OpenJ9

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I've been doing some performance analysis of Java services in vSphere and a change was recently introduced that broke half the Java services with a CertificateValidationException (vSphere exception class). I've isolated the change to a modification that was made to CipherCore around 4 weeks ago. It looks like this would be the obvious culprit: https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/rev/70160c527861 except that the sunjce_provider.jar also shows a new anonymous inner class for CipherCore that I don't see in the changeset.

Anyway, the difference between success and failure is the one change to this class made between the 10/18 and 10/19 builds.

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8u191

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Setting up the environment to reproduce this is difficult. It requires vSphere appliance. I can help debug in my environment.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Service starts fine
ACTUAL -
Service fails to start with SSL handshake errors

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Copying an older sunjce_provider.jar into a later build fixes the issue

FREQUENCY : always
