Problem summary
When pkcs11 memory management is enabled (default), sporadic <Object<PIPE>Key<PIPE>Session> is invalid messages are seen doing Cipher operations following a Cipher operation that generates an exception (e.g. ShortBufferException or IllegalBlockSizeException). The problem does not occur if the Cipher exceptions are not thrown. Problem is seen with Java 6, 7 and 8.
Problem conclusion
A hardware session handle was incorrectly being closed following the exception thrown. This hardware session handle was again being closed during the cleanup of the Java session object. The code has been modified to ensure that only the Java session class will clean up the hardware session handle when PKCS#11 memory management is enabled. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR1 FP10 (8.0.1.10) 6 SR16 FP7 (6.0.16.7) 5.0 SR16 FP13 (5.0.16.13) 7 R1 SR3 FP10 (7.1.3.10) 7 SR9 FP 10 (7.0.9.10) 6 R1 SR8 FP7 (6.1.8.7) .
