A flaw was found in bouncycastle. The OpenBSDBCrypt.checkPassword utility method compared incorrect data when checking the password allowing incorrect passwords to indicate they were matching with previously hashed ones that were different. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
Users unable to upgrade to version 1.67 or greater can copy the OpenBSDBCrypt.doCheckPassword()
method implementation (<https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/blob/r1rv67/core/src/main/java/org/bouncycastle/crypto/generators/OpenBSDBCrypt.java#L259-L343>) into their own utility class and supplement it with the required methods and variables as required
