medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411308

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - An issue was discovered in the FIPS Java API of Bouncy Castle BC-FJA before 1.0.2.4. Changes to the JVM
 garbage collector in Java 13 and later 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. NOTE: FIPS compliant users are unaffected because the FIPS
 certification is only for Java 7, 8, and 11. (CVE-2022-45146)
