5.3 Check for Minimum Java Version
There is a minimum update level of Java SE (JDK/JRE) requirement before installing the WLS PSU packaged in this SPB.
Fixes for deserialization vulnerabilities are made in the WebLogic Server PSU that depend on JEP 290 filtering and features within newer JDK updates. These fixes for deserialization vulnerabilities are not effective without these JDK updates. Users applying this WLS PSU without these JDK updates will receive warnings in the WebLogic Server console and in WebLogic Server logs.
For details, refer to the document Doc ID 2421487.1 Restricting Incoming Serialized Java Objects to Oracle WebLogic Server.
