CVE-2016-2427 2 Bouncycastle, Google 2 Bc-java, Android 2025-05-12 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
The AES-GCM specification in RFC 5084, as used in Android 5.x and 6.x, recommends 12 octets for the aes-ICVlen parameter field, which might make it easier for attackers to defeat a cryptographic protection mechanism and discover an authentication key via a crafted application, aka internal bug 26234568. NOTE: The vendor disputes the existence of this potential issue in Android, stating "This CVE was raised in error: it referred to the authentication tag size in GCM, whose default according to ASN.1 encoding (12 bytes) can lead to vulnerabilities. After careful consideration, it was decided that the insecure default value of 12 bytes was a default only for the encoding and not default anywhere else in Android, and hence no vulnerability existed.
CVE-2016-1000338 4 Bouncycastle, Canonical, Netapp and 1 more 5 Legion-of-the-bouncy-castle-java-crytography-api, Ubuntu Linux, 7-mode Transition Tool and 2 more 2025-05-05 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
In Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the DSA does not fully validate ASN.1 encoding of signature on verification. It is possible to inject extra elements in the sequence making up the signature and still have it validate, which in some cases may allow the introduction of 'invisible' data into a signed structure.
CVE-2015-7940 3 Bouncycastle, Opensuse, Oracle 7 Bouncy Castle Crypto Package, Leap, Opensuse and 4 more 2025-04-12 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The Bouncy Castle Java library before 1.51 does not validate a point is withing the elliptic curve, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain private keys via a series of crafted elliptic curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) key exchanges, aka an "invalid curve attack."
CVE-2023-33201 1 Bouncycastle 1 Bc-java 2024-11-21 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
Bouncy Castle For Java before 1.74 is affected by an LDAP injection vulnerability. The vulnerability only affects applications that use an LDAP CertStore from Bouncy Castle to validate X.509 certificates. During the certificate validation process, Bouncy Castle inserts the certificate's Subject Name into an LDAP search filter without any escaping, which leads to an LDAP injection vulnerability.
CVE-2022-45146 2 Bouncycastle, Oracle 2 Fips Java Api, Jdk 2024-11-21 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in the FIPS Java API of Bouncy Castle BC-FJA before 1.0.2.4. Changes to the JVM garbage collector in Java 13 and later trigger an issue in the BC-FJA FIPS modules where it is possible for temporary keys used by the module to be zeroed out while still in use by the module, resulting in errors or potential information loss. NOTE: FIPS compliant users are unaffected because the FIPS certification is only for Java 7, 8, and 11.
