Non optimized initialization of NSS crypto library leads to scalability issues
Comments
Optimization hard to reproduce so close as not verified.

by the way, I believe keyword for 7u40 should be set on 7u40 backport

Looks like a issue of PKCS11 libraries, redirect to classes_security category.

SUGGESTED FIX
To fix the issue JDK should initialize NSS via call to NSS_Initialize with parameters and optimizeSpace set to false as described in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206971 instead of calling NSS_Init*.

WORK AROUND
Workaround is a simple change of default parameter optimizeSpace value to false in NSS_Init* functions in NSS (in attach).
