bouncycastle: DHIES implementation allowed the use of ECB mode

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the DHIES implementation allowed the use of ECB mode. This mode is regarded as unsafe and support for it has been removed from the provider...

bouncycastle: DHIES/ECIES CBC modes are vulnerable to padding oracle attack

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the DHIES/ECIES CBC mode vulnerable to padding oracle attack. For BC 1.55 and older, in an environment where timings can be easily observed, it is possible with enough observations to identify when the decryption is failing due to padding...

bouncycastle: Information exposure in DSA signature generation via timing attack

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier DSA signature generation is vulnerable to timing attack. Where timings can be closely observed for the generation of signatures, the lack of blinding in 1.55, or earlier, may allow an attacker to gain information about the signature's k...

bouncycastle: Information disclosure in GCMBlockCipher

It was found that an information disclosure flaw in Bouncy Castle could enable a local malicious application to gain access to user's private information...

bouncycastle: DSA key pair generator generates a weak private key by default

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the DSA key pair generator generates a weak private key if used with default values. If the JCA key pair generator is not explicitly initialised with DSA parameters, 1.55 and earlier generates a private value assuming a 1024 bit key size...

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the ECIES implementation allowed the use of ECB mode. This mode is regarded as unsafe and support for it has been removed from the provider...

bouncycastle: Other party DH public keys are not fully validated

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the other party DH public key is not fully validated. This can cause issues as invalid keys can be used to reveal details about the other party's private key where static Diffie-Hellman is in use. As of release 1.56 the key parameters are...

Security Bulletin: IBM Security Guardium is affected by a Bouncy Castle vulnerability

Summary IBM Security Guardium has addressed the following vulnerability. Vulnerability Details CVEID: CVE-2018-5382 DESCRIPTION: Bouncy Castle could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the BKS version 1 keystore files. By utilizing an HMAC that is only 16...

Security Bulletin: IBM Security Guardium is affected by a Public disclosed vulnerability from Bouncy Castle

Summary IBM Security Guardium has addressed the following vulnerability. Vulnerability Details CVEID: CVE-2017-13098 DESCRIPTION: Bouncy Castle could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an RSA Adaptive Chosen Ciphertext Bleichenbacher attack. By utilizing...

bouncycastle: Carry propagation bug in math.raw.Nat??? class

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider versions 1.51 to 1.55, a carry propagation bug was introduced in the implementation of squaring for several raw math classes have been fixed org.bouncycastle.math.raw.Nat???. These classes are used by our custom elliptic curve implementations...

bouncycastle: DSA does not fully validate ASN.1 encoding during signature verification allowing for injection of unsigned data

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...

bouncycastle: Information leak in AESFastEngine class

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier the primary engine class used for AES was AESFastEngine. Due to the highly table driven approach used in the algorithm it turns out that if the data channel on the CPU can be monitored the lookup table accesses are sufficient to leak...

bouncycastle: ECDSA improper validation of ASN.1 encoding of signature

In the Bouncy Castle JCE Provider version 1.55 and earlier ECDSA 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...

The Offensive Web Application Penetration Testing Framework: TIDoS

TIDoS Framework is a comprehensive web-app audit framework. TIDoS is made to be comprehensive and versatile. It is a highly flexible framework where you just have to select and use modules. But before that, you need to set your own API KEYS for various OSINT purposes. To do so, open up APIKEYS.py...

bouncycastle: flaw in the low-level interface to RSA key pair generator

A vulnerability was found in BouncyCastle. The number of iterations of the Miller-Rabin primality test was incorrectly calculated according to FIPS 186-4 C.3. Under some circumstances, this could lead to the generation of weak RSA key pairs...
