SCA: security update for org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on (GHSA-8477-3v39-ggpm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412411

Description

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

 - The default BKS keystore use an HMAC that is only 16 bits long, which can allow an attacker to compromise
 the integrity of a BKS keystore. Bouncy Castle release 1.47 changes the BKS format to a format which uses
 a 160 bit HMAC instead. This applies to any BKS keystore generated prior to BC 1.47. For situations where
 people need to create the files for legacy reasons a specific keystore type "BKS-V1" was introduced in
 1.49. It should be noted that the use of "BKS-V1" is discouraged by the library authors and should only be
 used where it is otherwise safe to do so, as in where the use of a 16 bit checksum for the file integrity
 check is not going to cause a security issue in itself. (CVE-2018-5382)
