      - JDK-8293734: Improve BMP image handling
      - JDK-8293742: Better Banking of Sounds
      - JDK-8295687: Better BMP bounds

    ## Major Changes

    ### JDK-8295687: Better BMP bounds

    Loading a linked ICC profile within a BMP image is now disabled by default. To re-enable it, set the new     system property     `sun.imageio.bmp.enabledLinkedProfiles` to `true`.  This new property replaces the old property,     `sun.imageio.plugins.bmp.disableLinkedProfiles`.

    ### JDK-8293742: Better Banking of Sounds

    Previously, the SoundbankReader implementation, `com.sun.media.sound.JARSoundbankReader`, would download a     JAR soundbank from a URL.  This behaviour is now disabled by default. To re-enable it, set the new system     property `jdk.sound.jarsoundbank` to `true`.

    ### JDK-8285021: Improve CORBA communication

    The JDK's CORBA implementation now refuses by default to deserialize objects, unless they have the     `IOR:` prefix.  The previous behaviour can be re-enabled by setting the new property     `com.sun.CORBA.ORBAllowDeserializeObject` to `true`.

    ### [JDK-8269039](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8269039): Disabled SHA-1 Signed JARs

    JARs signed with SHA-1 algorithms are now restricted by default and created as if they were unsigned. This     applies to the algorithms used to digest, sign, and optionally timestamp the JAR. It also applies to the     signature and digest algorithms of the certificates in the     certificate chain of the code signer and the Timestamp Authority, and any CRLs or OCSP responses that are     used to verify if those     certificates have been revoked. These restrictions also apply to signed JCE providers.

    To reduce the compatibility risk for JARs that have been previously timestamped, there is one exception to     this policy:

    - Any JAR signed with SHA-1 algorithms and timestamped prior to   January 01, 2019 will not be restricted.

    This exception may be removed in a future JDK release. To determine if your signed JARs are affected by     this change, run:
    ~~~     $ jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs     ~~~     on the signed JAR, and look for instances of SHA1 or SHA-1 and disabled and a warning that the JAR     will be treated as unsigned in the output.

    For example:
    ~~~        Signed by CN=Signer        Digest algorithm: SHA-1 (disabled)        Signature algorithm: SHA1withRSA (disabled), 2048-bit key

       WARNING: The jar will be treated as unsigned, because it is signed with a weak algorithm that is now     disabled by the security property:

       jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize < 1024, DSA keySize < 1024, SHA1 denyAfter 2019-01-01     ~~~     JARs affected by these new restrictions should be replaced or re-signed with stronger algorithms.

    Users can, *at their own risk*, remove these restrictions by modifying the `java.security` configuration     file (or override it by using the `java.security.properties` system property) and removing SHA1 usage     SignedJAR & denyAfter 2019-01-01 from the     `jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms` security property and SHA1 denyAfter 2019-01-01 from the     `jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms` security property.
