Issue:
Security scanning software may incorrectly flag Azul Zulu as an outdated version of OpenJDK when using Tableau products.
Cause:
Azul Zulu uses a unique versioning scheme for their OpenJDK builds, which differs from the standard OpenJDK versioning.
Recommended Action:
Ensure you are running the latest Maintenance Release for your Tableau product version, as these releases include the most up-to-date versions of Tableau components. You can find the latest releases by visiting the official Tableau release notes.
Understanding Azul Zulu Versioning:
Azul Zulu is the third-party Java Runtime Environment (JRE) provider used in Tableau Server, Tableau Desktop, and Tableau Prep Builder. Their versioning includes two key numbers:
1. OpenJDK Version – Matches standard Java versions (e.g., 11.0.13).
2. Azul Product Version – A unique build identifier used internally by Azul (e.g., zulu11.52.14-sa-jre11.0.13-linux_x64-sfdc-tableau.zip).
