Ubuntu 22.04 enhances libxml2 to remedy various memory corruption vulnerabilities in WebKit alongside recent security patches and system enhancements.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library provides robust and

full-featured Unicode services on a wide variety of platforms. ICU supports

the most current version of the Unicode standard, and provides support for

supplementary characters (needed for GB 18030 repertoire support).

Java provides a very strong foundation for global programs, and IBM and the

ICU team played a key role in providing globalization technology into Sun's

Java. But because of its long release schedule, Java cannot always keep

up-to-date with evolving standards. The ICU team continues to extend Java's

Unicode and internationalization support, focusing on improving

performance, keeping current with the Unicode standard, and providing

richer APIs, while remaining as compatible as possible with the original

Java text and internationalization API design.
