For Linux, the timezone data for OpenJDK Java is provided (typically) by the "tzdata-java" package (or a similarly named package ... depending on your distro). Make sure that you have the most recent version of that package installed.
Alternatively, read this Oracle page about the "tzupdater" tool. This provides a system independent method for updating the timezone info in an installed Oracle JDK or JRE:
