An issue was discovered in Bouncy Castle Java TLS API and JSSE Provider before 1.78. Timing-based leakage may occur in RSA based handshakes because of exception processing.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8108-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Bouncy Castle did not sanitize user input when inserting it into an LDAP search     filter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform an LDAP injection attack. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-33201)

    It was discovered that Bouncy Castle incorrectly handled specially crafted F2m parameters in the ECCurve     algorithm. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bouncy Castle to use excessive resources,     leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04     LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-29857)

    It was discovered that Bouncy Castle leaked timing information when handling exceptions during an RSA     handshake. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-30171)

    It was discovered that Bouncy Castle incorrectly handled endpoint identification with an SSL socket     enabled without an explicit hostname. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a DNS poisoning     attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2024-34447)

    Bing Shi discovered that Bouncy Castle incorrectly handled resource memory allocation. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause Bouncy Castle to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2025-8916)
