    Changes for bouncycastle:

    Update to 1.85:

      * Additional Notes:

      The standardised PQC algorithms ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, FrodoKEM,       and CMCE have been repackaged under org.bouncycastle.crypto and       the versions under org.bouncycastle.crypto.pqc have been deprecated.
      These deprecated versions will be removed in BC 1.86.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21538-1 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.85, OER parser recurses without depth limit on self-referential IEEE     1609.2 schema. This issue also affects Bouncy Castle for Java LTS before 2.73.12, and Bouncy Castle for     Java FIPS (BC-FJA) before bcutil-fips 2.0.7 (2.0.X series) and 2.1.7 (2.1.X series). (CVE-2026-59645)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
