A flaw was found in the FIPS Java API of Bouncy Castle BC-FJA. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication. Changes to the JVM garbage collector in Java 13 and later can 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.
